” It is inadmissible. Millions of years have passed and the force of arms and their arrogance are still used to send their tanks to another nation. Such a misfortune is unacceptable. ” She said it Al Bano, guest of Rtl 102.5 in ‘Giletti 102.5’ with Massimo Giletti, Enrico Galletti and Luigi Santarelli, talking about his relationship with Russia. Al Bano’s music is very popular in Russia. ” In the communist period the only big event they could see was Sanremo and therefore the stars of the festival became stars also in Russia, but also in all the states under Soviet rule – said Al Bano – They opened the doors of television only on Sanremo. Everyone was crazy about the Sanremo effect ”.
Will Al Bano return to sing in Russia? ” Mine is a reaction against Putin’s choices at the moment, not against Russia – he declared – Russia cannot be touched and will always remain what it is, a people to be loved ”. Why can’t we appreciate the freedom we have in our country unlike others, such as Ukraine for example? ” It’s like the rich: they don’t realize they are rich. Freedom is also good but we should pray every day that it resists and that it is always a life partner – replied Al Bano – We do this, the politicians do not do it against us ”.
Would Al Bano ever have expected this from Putin? There is no answer. War is that of an elephant crushing a mouse, a dramatically easy game. The problem is even higher: Russia is afraid of an invasion by America and does not accept it – continued the singer – He was on the side of reason and it was enough to stop and do all his shipping gymnastics in the borders and they would understood the message, but didn’t overrun that way. Uprooting vital trees such as human beings to their land, their home, history and tradition with the force of arms and arrogance is an unacceptable nonsense ”, he concludes.
