Fabrizio de Andrè Competition, Genova, 21 June 2009

The winner of the Fabrizio de Andrè music competition, Notturno per Faber", held in Genova in June, was Busciuba (www.myspace.com/busciuba), a great friend of Marco and Trio Lumière.

The competition was organised by the Genova Council in collaboration with the De Andrè Foundation and MySpace Italia, coinciding with the exhibition being held in the city at the Palazzo Ducale.

The competition, called "notturno per faber" involved writing a piece of music in the style of de Andrè based on two brief texts written by Fabrizio called "I Notturni".

When Basciuba found out that he had won first prize (joint with Fouve (010) in Trio), he called Trio Lumière to perform the piece with him during a gala dinner at the Palazzo Ducale on the evening of 21 June 2009.

Basciuba commented on MySpace "It was a great party last night at the Palazzo Ducale! A party which, as far as it concerned me, would not have been possible without the brotherly help and talent of Trio Lumière, a fantastic jazz trio, comprising Marco Marconi (piano and keyboard), Mauro Giorgeschi (drums and percussion) and Giulio Angori (bass and double bass)."
