πŸ“œπŸŽΌπŸŽ™πŸ”Š9 April 1860. An anonymous passerby in Paris is singing on the street "Au Claire de La Lune" a French popular 18th century song. A guy who will then become an inventor is able to capture and record from his window the passerby's voice as a phonautogram on paper 😳 (later in decades evolved in phonographs and grammophones thanks to further inventions).
We all love music and listening to it, don't we πŸ˜ƒ? All the music we listen to is recorded, with so many different technologies... but recorded !
If today we can enjoy our favorite music, this is also partly due to that guy in Paris called Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville, who on that #9April made the first known and oldest surviving recording of the human voice!!! πŸ—£πŸ™ŒπŸ‘

Here's the remaster of that recording. I also post in the Chat RoomπŸ‘‡the entire popular song many of you will recognize and a #Litfiba (Italian best rock/new wave band in the 80s!) song I particularly love, Pierrot e La Luna, at the end of which you can hear the words of that 1860 recording:
"Au clair de la Lune
Mon ami Pierrot
PrΓͺte-moi ta plume
Pour Γ©crire un mot"

🎼6 December 1980. After months of rehearsals in Via de' Bardi in #Florence, #Italy, a local rock new wave post-punk band with Mediterranean vibes was ready for their first live appearance: the concert was held in a nearby small town, Settignano, in a place which was more similar to a room than a venue, at the local "Casa del Popolo". More than 200 rockers from Florence gathered that night and the young musicians (all in their 18eens) realized they could carry on as a band which they named Litfiba πŸ€Ÿβ€οΈβ€πŸ”₯
#Litfiba soon became a cult band with a distinctive sound and harsh political lyrics, respected and acclaimed all over Europe despite their singing only in Italian, surely also due to the charismatic presence of #vocalist Piero PelΓΉ.
In 1989 three original members left the band and Litfiba completely changed their sound to a more commercially succesful rock/hard rock, thus becoming the most famous Italian rock band.
In the Chat RoomπŸ‘‡ early Litfiba, sounds totally different from today's #TheMondayRecharger☝️😈
"Spazza vento e porta via
Il bambino che gioca con il mare

Non sarΓ² eroe
Non sarei stato mai
Tradire e fuggire
È il ricordo che resterà

Eroe nel vento
È la noia che scava dentro me"

"LulΓΉ
La luce Γ¨ vuota
Senza colori
Senza piΓΉ vita
LulΓΉ
Ogni ora persa
È una ferita
Che si apre in volto a noi

Marlene
Quanto odio ho visto
Quante ferite
Alla mia anima persa Marlene
Suona la ribeca
Ed ogni uomo grida: "Pace a noi"

Ma noi restiamo soli di fronte all'odio
Invincibile
Impalpabile per noi"
