The pop band\u2019s repertory goes from the \u201850s to the \u201890s. The Easypop is a band of six friends from the province of Rome who put together their musical experiences to create a show, \u201cThe Story of the Jukebox\u201d, which can bring audiences back in time to when they could enter a bar where there was a jukebox, ready to start playing. In order to do this, they built a special jukebox: during their performance, spectators can choose a song through a special keyboard, which the band will then play on stage live. Now the jukebox \u2013 with the playlist of the most beautiful Italian songs of the past decades \u2013 is preparing to land in Nairobi, where Ermanno Presaghi, Enrico Innocenzi, Errico Fucetola, Viola Fiorentini, Patrizio Pirrone and Gianluca Fiorentini (nicknamed Luka) will hold their performance in Kenya. The concert, organised by the Italian Institute of Culture in Nairobi, will be held at the Mediterraneo Restaurant Junction on Friday, March 18. The brightly coloured band members are surprising and innovative: once upon a time, a 50 lire (\u20ac0.03) coin was sufficient to start the magic.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>A voyage through time, an opportunity to relive the atmospheres of the past<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You would choose a song, the 45 rpm record would be placed on the turntable and you would hear a crackling noise as the needle ran through the grooves of the record. Then the music would fill the air with emotions and entertainment: \u201cOur show \u2013 the musicians explained \u2013 is a voyage through time, an opportunity to relive the atmospheres of the past. Our special jukebox contains between 64 and 130 Italian and international song titles from different genres and rhythms, from the \u201850s through to the \u201880s, including big hits and less known gems which can be freely selected on a keyboard. Except that, instead of the jukebox playing the records piled inside it, we play them. You choose them and, after a couple of anecdotes, we sing them live for you. We also often bring on stage instruments of the time: it\u2019s absolutely wonderful to hear a song that moves you or dance to a rhythm that you haven\u2019t heard for a long time, in front of a jukebox.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The repertory of the Easypop pop band spans from \u201cTu vu\u00f2 fa l\u2019americano\u201d, \u201cIl cielo in una stanza\u201d, \u201cIl ragazzo della Via Gluck\u201d to \u201cIo vagabondo\u201d, \u201cAncora tu\u201d and \u201cLa mia banda suona il rock\u201d.Of course without forgetting \u201cAzzurro\u201d, \u201cL\u2019italiano\u201d and \u201cAttenti al lupo\u201d.
