You'd go out with me?
Eh ... not slowly, slowly ...
You would ...
out ...
with me?
Yes, she wants if you ask him with that smile.
You can not bring you back and say: "Ho, go out with me!"
"You want to go out with me?"
This is how prompts you to leave, or else ...
Tonight ...
when it's almost dark, the sun goes down,
the moon rises,
you go out with a girl
and ask him:
"You want something to drink?"
"An orange juice?"
It is said that all roads lead to Rome.
For the protagonists of this story,
this is how it happened.
More specifically, roads have crossed
in one place in Rome:
Piazza Vittorio area of the Esquiline.
Old by say that the time of King
It was a neighborhood for the rich
or which had been built for them
when Rome became the capital of Italy.
But after the war, it became a sort of harbor.
There was an outdoor market and you could find anything.
As in this scene the Bicycle Thief
where the hero had to Piazza Vittorio
seek his bike.
When I came to live here there ten years
housing costing much cheaper than elsewhere.
Perhaps because Piazza Vittorio is close to Termini Station.
And as is often the case
in the surrounding area next major stations,
there was a lot of drug addicts, tramps,
prostitutes and immigrants.
Many traders Italian had already left,
after selling stores and shops
to the highest bidder: the Chinese.
Despite protests residents,
they turned all these stores
in goods wholesalers "made in china".
it seems that many of these activities
are controlled by the Chinese mafia
increasingly linked Italian in the middle.
Obviously, most immigrants has nothing to do with it.
But every good opportunity to an election campaign ...
That illegal go home!
We do not accept they impose on us.
LA PIAZZA VITTORIO THE ITALIAN
When our story begins, there a few summers
we realized everyone
was not afraid of strangers.
On the contrary, many joined our cause ...
Apollo cinema theater,
to survive in the last quarter,
would be transformed into a bingo hall.
To save him, we created a commitee,
Apollo 11.
For the Apollo Theater,
we are here so that it remains unchanged,
here is the song of a movie.
What are clouds?
You want to sign a petition to the mayor?
after several petitions and concerts,
the mayor has promised buy theater
to restart with a programming
music and movies
which also imply immigrants in the area.
But the most ambitious
was to create an orchestra
inspired Piazza Vittorio.
But where are the musicians?
How to sell such an idea?
And how to be taken seriously?
My only certainty: whatever happens,
it deserved to be filmed.
fall 2001
You can speak English, translate ...
Attempts to create a large orchestra ...
with residents
of all nationalities.
So we seek foreign musicians.
Chante !
You can sing? you know traditional songs ...
You may ask a question?
But we wanted to ask if you know the musicians ...
We try to create an international orchestra ...
with foreign musicians.
- The store. - Which one?
The next.
It left? You're working?
There are Indian singers in Rome?
Indian musicians too? Fantastic!
- New or old? - Old ... Or young ...
But not hard to buy.
No disks, musicians.
Oh no. It's not. Only records!
Someone to play in an orchestra.
winter 2001
What should I do?
We will try to say everything in a few sentences.
I know I have to cut.
To cut, you have summed up in two lines.
Well, I try ...
the attack which is carried by the law ...
But it is mentioned or not, Fini-Bossi this law?
So this attack is to annihilate the person
and reduce human beings to goods ...
It is believed that the cultural is essential.
Speaking of roots, and point.
If you know how to play an instrument ...
or sing in your language ...
They economies on the health of immigrants
because they have more money to send troops to Afghanistan!
We are tired of suffering! No one wants to suffer!
The Berlusconi government
must say no to the Bossi-Fini!
We all
the underground!
After two months fruitless search,
the event against the Bossi-Fini Law
seemed to us an opportunity not to be missed.
Was expected 100,000 participants.
We asked the organizers to advertise for us.
All shops will close, displays all shut,
carers not go to work,
Northern factories shut,
we show the strength
immigrants in Italy.
Now the Apollo 11 project,
a theater
a group of crazy
artists, intellectuals, musicians,
decided to go to the city, and all of us here,
to create a place where singing,
playing music,
watch movies in all languages ??and all cultures.
We invite each immigrant
who can sing, play,
beat a drum,
to register in this great orchestra.
This is a project that we share
and support from this place.
I love it.
It is a way to bring
which has been lost.
Many musicians leave Rome
because nobody cares
what they do.
For me this is normal,
when I leave my house,
this is the first thing I see
and I always wonder
how musicians live here.
It was much more complicated than expected.
Maybe we would had to drop.
The Orchestra of Piazza Vittorio was a good idea.
It should remain, a nice idea.
It was perhaps left the wrong foot.
Rather, they should begin by musicians
with which Mario had worked.
It was not their fault they werent strangers.
Basically, it should be on international orchestra.
The problem was that the two first were Italians?
One was Peppe saxophonist.
It's been 20 years since he played Mario in "Airplane travel".
He certainly did not need a hearing.
The other was an acquaintance Pino Marino
a member of the Apollo 11.
Mario had always loved the way he played the bass.
At what time you play?
23:30 midnight.
The first results are a bit poor,
we made a turn
stores and boxes.
How to explain the project?
You talk with a guy. He tells you, "Yeah, but ..."
Give me a hand, talk around you,
if you hear about ...
You, what are you doing?
I participate, I like the idea.
I would like the orchestra
has funk sound.
I hope you can make
your key rhythm and blues and funk.
Then we went to see Javier
Argentine saxophonist de Aires Tango ...
We knew busy with his band,
but perhaps he could find some time.
And who better than he knows musicians from South America?
Omar
Valle.
A Cuban trumpeter.
Carlos Paz,
Ecuador.
If weather is nice, you will find Via dei Fori Imperiali
or even Colosseum with a small group of the Andes.
Raul, you will find ...
Finally, when you call, you ask him his address.
But hey, he lives in the neighborhood of Tuscolano ...
He built a garage, somewhere a little ...
A room for instruments ...
A greasy spoon in Argentina.
- Who is it? - Raul?
Mario Tronco and Agostino Ferrente.
Wait, I'm open.
Enter!
I opened a little ...
A movie? A documentary?
A documentary film.
Genre Blues Brothers.
I understood ... Where do we start?
I have all these things,
Caribbean, Latin America ...
This is what interests me.
Conga Cajon, timbales, bongos ...
The idea is to build a directory that is ...
- Bespoke? - Yes.
Overturning traditions ...
Give me a little your chair.
Sit there.
This is a cajon, you know?
Imagine a pace like that ...
If you hear an apartment,
a studio ...
A small apartment ...
Raul had left Argentina there ten years
but since his grandfather is Italian
he feels at home here.
Carlos is still attached his country, Ecuador,
it does not leave by choice.
He taught music in the suburbs
and government, this was propaganda comuuniste.
If you want,
you can leave a few coins,
what you want in the guitar case.
Leandro here.
The tuner and collaborator arrangements of the orchestra.
You can put your guitar in here.
You know what we do? I have an idea:
can open the lock with a hair clip.
We'll see what happens.
Before, we had no fear to occupy the place.
Is stopped with "please."
If we can get ...
It gets inside and you start to play.
At worst, the police arrive.
Police we will make a good band!
As it is not Police Genoa!
After lengthy negotiations,
the council has finally bought Apollo cinema theater.
It was great news
but for security reasons,
we could not visister.
We already thought to repeat there,
when we have formed the orchestra.
One day, after repeated requests,
the mayor called us for inspection of premises.
It is in Mario Tronco?
Yes, up.
It was the same day that the hearing of Omar.
- Where are you from? - De Cuba.
To bring us luck,
we decided to make him pass hearing in the famous movie
we saved the playroom.
It is also a means verify the sound.
I hope it works well ... I like the idea a lot.
Play whatever you want. Let yourself be inspired by the place.
Omar is very beautiful, it is a beautiful theater.
Really beautiful.
The cab ...
Originally, in 1917, the cabin was on the second gallery.
She had some sort of protection ...
The last manager had placed there in the middle.
To the brick wall.
But the offer is financial criteria,
or cultural too?
We can do both.
As the mayor has bought
it must follow all legal proceedings.
So it will take time, and find the money ...
But this place can not wait long ...
We must first find the funds ...
But the deputy told you it will take years ...
Spring 2002
In the family of Omar, there were 12 trumpeters.
He was the youngest.
At 16, he wrote a song
and listen to him proudly his parents,
who explained not sing in public
he wanted to leave Cuba and travel like a vagabond.
With Omar we arrived at six,
but six musicians are not an orchestra.
But in the meantime, information was circulated well ...
For example, Annamaria Monique had told Veute,
Director RomaEuropa the Festival,
which, unexpectedly, we made a proposal
that we could not refuse.
This is exactly the type of project I'm interested.
An interest in the city, an interesting attitude ...
A meeting between different cultures,
different music ...
You think this fall the orchestra will ... ready?
Yes, certainly, but what does that mean exactly?
You will make a concert RomaEuropa Festival.
"The duration of the concert not less than 90 minutes. "
Yeah, it means 1 hour and a half at least ...
Was told 21 musicians ...
Good luck!
It is safe before October, there will be not started rehearsals.
Further research is needed musicians.
We must see how they play, if they can improvise ...
If you can not find musicians called Monique
and tell him that was not successful.
I shit my pants already!
The concert had been sold an orchestra nonexistent
and there was little time before the deadline.
So we handed desperately seeking.
Hello everyone!
We talked a gypsy
who played the harpsichord in the subway.
After a day increased in line B,
we finally found it.
He explained our project.
But he told us to come back with a financial offer more concrete.
A week later, we talked about Pap.
If a "griot" dies
everything is finished.
It is as close a library, you know?
Because nobody has the same role as a "griot".
First of all, Is the project interesting?
Yes, but it depends on the dates ... I tell you this ...
Because I play a lot,
I dance school ...
For the moment, The project is in its infancy,
there is no money ...
So we made a kind of collection,
but if it works, it will be ...
Mario has a more defined project,
he wants to create ongoing training.
- Hi! - I brought you a drink.
It was one of my students percussion.
And now ...
I just have a problem with washbasin,
it is clogged, fell in a bottle.
Today or tomorrow, it will be repaired.
The hot water tank, for showering or washing.
Here, it is autonomous.
Thank you.
After ten years of living together,
it is always a bit difficult ...
It will be hard, your wife is pretty.
It will be very hard, it will probably ...
So that, even if it is only with friends.
It will make you crazy!
Annamaria I had heard of this project,
Search a Indian tabla.
Luckily, there are ten days
I received this material a tabla Indian
called Rahis Bharti.
- It is Rome? - No, Corsica.
Yes, this is a chance because in Italy
it is very hard to find musicians ...
In Rome, it is impossible.
He had come out the other side.
We're all musicians, in my family
it makes music for seven generations.
Traditionally, my family plays music.
My father is a musician, My grandfather is a musician,
and his father, and his father's father ...
For over 700 years, playing music.
We live music, my uncles ... all.
Are you sure?
Hey, kid!
How do you enter?
I'll get the mistress.
Do not be afraid, I am a teacher, too.
So we would need to enter.
We the committee of the Esquiline.
Down to view the premises.
There was a fire here?
There a few years ago.
Well, well, it is very dry!
But you talked with the secretary?
He told us that if we make it livable ...
Yes, but you need permits. Who will you give?
It was a place to rehearse.
Obviously, it was not the Apollo
but it was already,
even if he had to make some work and spend a little money.
Just give 100,000 lire to 22 musicians ...
To reimburse must they sleep in Rome, he must ...
Finally, do we have to face facts,
if the orchestra costs 5 million in final
you need to know where to find money.
But where to go all that money?
The possibility of public funding
was not realistic.
Same for labels.
In short, nobody believed.
There were one thing to do ...
Is therefore 500 euros to bring?
A flow between us, members of Apollo 11.
With this money, was revoyé Rahis home,
who had "urgent business" to adjust.
Was contacted musicians who did more than our new
as Marian
who finally accepted our proposal.
But warns a nomadic spirit like hers
would not stay long in Rome.
Great harpsichordist. Harpsichordist musician ...
Well, yes, he said that because I'm his son ...
But where have you been?
Come on, do the trick.
We have news.
We finally found ... a concert.
November 24.
And money for rehearsals.
A week, 8 days of rehearsals.
Want something to eat?
Chef!
They are members
organization called Apollo 11.
Summer 2002
The summer was already there,
Pap was convinced that Senegal win
World Cup South Korea.
Badu ...
We will crush them!
They have stolen a penalty.
When you finished 1-0 against France,
it's like winning World Cup.
Then everything stopped, because in August Rome, everything stops.
And we had to wait.
Translate for me ...
Oh, you're in India?
He has already bought the ticket for the musician.
He will go to Corsica on September 20.
After a few days, they come here.
I called Flavio
to remind you that immediately.
But I'm paying for this call?
In September, we spoke Houcine.
I assure you, the next time you do not answer the phone,
you go home, and I destroy. You never answer.
When I play bingo I do not answer.
On feast days, nothing else matters.
It's my job. The artist's life is like that.
But then, tell me the truth, stop with the bullshit ...
You told me that there was no station in Rimini.
An artist is always an artist.
Well, for a chair, it turns off.
It is not given to everyone to do ...
The colors ...
You change the subject?
Who was at 5 am?
At 5 pm?
Who called you at 5 am?
Mohammed.
What he wanted, at 5 am?
This is not the time ... I am ...
For you, it is never the time. You only paint!
Yes, when a client comes a singer, this is not a client,
it becomes public.
You must understand that.
Okay, but if you're the artist, and this is your public
tell me why you take the phone number of your audience.
To stay in Italy
Houcine had obtained a visa as carer.
Before he played on cruise ships
passing through Tunis.
Then he fell in love a Roman who was home.
Thanks to him, the mouth began among Arab musicians.
Abdallah?
- It happens. - Ah, it pulls?
You'll never change?
I've been waiting for 90 minutes!
Premises, they have been for 5 years on the landscape in rehearsal.
It still needs work for soundproofing,
to stop the sound a bit ...
it resonates.
Congratulations you're really talented.
Beautiful voice.
Houcine, I seek Arab violinist.
I know one.
Here? In Rome?
I spoke with Houcine,
I found someone good
who wants to do things that appeal,
things right.
As soon as I heard like that, I said:
"Ok, I'm trying.
We'll see, I'll talk to him. I hope it will be good. "
Here it is!
There was my cousin, very strong. He plays the oud, strong, really.
- Who is it? - Ziad.
He is very strong.
You saw him play with me.
- He loudly. - Very, very good.
Shams is Ziad.
What kind of car do you want?
For 1000 euros, you can find a car 7-8 years.
You can not send in Tunis.
If you know someone in the customs
can you hack the gray card.
Dad ...
How are you?
Say hello to Mom.
Allah loves me because you love me.
Ziad had left Tunis with a degree in math
and a conservatory.
But in Rome, he worked Restaurants in Arab
in which he often played Houcine with his cousin.
Fall 2002
Here's a possibility.
And then this piece, we still have to learn.
Worry ...
I'm not alone ... Should we sing it.
Mario, he told you where they are?
Well, we'll find them, worry.
Hurry up with that tea.
We have to go play.
Where is it? There are some good mics?
Yes, it is a large room.
In short, we had convinced Rahis
also pay the ticket Bilal
his cousin singer had never been out of Rajastan.
Mario dying to listen,
he asked me to take her
directly to the theater for the hearing.
First time in Rome
Italy, even ...
Italy ...
country ...
the many beauties.
I love Italy. I want to learn Italian.
It will not be easy. Good, but I'll help you.
Yes, it will be easier.
I could speak English as ...
I want to learn, help me.
Yes, but it will not in one day.
It takes time.
And that what this is?
A museum.
It is a beautiful city.
One of the most beautiful cities the world.
Rome?
It is the city of Romeo and Juliet. A bit like "Heer Ranjha".
- Ah yes, "Heer Ranjha". - Who are they?
Those who died love, right?
Yes, their love was the greatest.
I heard the name in a song.
What is it? A train or bus?
This is a tramway.
Hi, I've been looking all day.
I know! We also ...
Flavio.
A photo with them!
For the website.
But what racism?
What immigration?
Rather it is an invasion!
Despite all the laws,
The Chinese continue to sell, to the wholesale trade.
What will we do without meat or milk? We'll eat our t-shirts?
Although a bit bewildered,
Bilal and began Rahis to feel at home.
Small crescendo here ... Now piano. Got it?
I'm from New York.
This is very different, and far away ...
First of all, my father is Italian.
I've always been curious
how was living in Italy.
He always talked ...
I always wanted to come here.
I am delighted Do you like tablas ...
That's why we get along well.
I hope next level.
Can you give me your passport?
The European Schengen ... We'll see you soon ...
Gentleman 24 hours to leave Italy.
But no!
How can we solve it?
We solve this with man who returns to India
to try to get a work visa independently.
There is a new law.
You have to go in India for visa.
Request ...
visa extension ...
Mr. Mohammed Bilal.
The association Apollo 11
I am the legal representative
produces a musical
which will be the show Closing RomaEuropa Festival.
You have to go in India for the visa.
We shall discuss two things:
find a secretary
and silver to clean this place.
I want to understand one thing.
For Mario come to work here
with the orchestra, concert on November 24,
what it takes and how much will it cost?
Bilal's departure was not the only problem
the work of our local were not finished
and should therefore rent a real rehearsal.
I discovered that Rahis is your nephew ...
Yes, a distant relative.
Your grandfather is the parent ... Your father is the parent of his grandfather.
In fact, my grandfather was a musician
the court of the Maharaja of Jaipur.
My uncle is a specialist tablas, India.
My father studied with a great singer,
called Hustar, Amir Khan Sahid Hustar,
which may be the greatest singer of the century.
It is 400 or 500 years of research,
I possess today.
I do not remember how it has been Sagheer,
but after the departure of Bilal It was a stroke of luck,
because it was resigned to the fact in Italy
it was very difficult to find Indian professional musicians.
And I do not know how we met Filio,
Greek singer ...
Again?
- It is the beginning of the concert? - Yes.
You anxieties, right?
So do I.
After many phone calls,
finally, the first day repetitions arrived.
Many musicians did not know,
Mario had not even had time know them well.
It was only one week before the concert.
Start by opening the concert.
Put the CD a moment.
You listened to the CD?
You said you would.
Listen ... put stronger.
This is not classical,
but if you give me goosebumps like that ...
Nobody learned this fucking song.
You came by subway, no punctuality!
You have to learn the song!
You say "yes" for 4 days.
What catastrophic repetition!
It was the first time that I saw Mario totally discouraged.
But there was good news:
Bilal returned.
Thank you for coming, Bilal.
Person singing this song yesterday.
Rahis my cousin.
Your mother sends you this picture.
Look, what a pretty girl!
Come see her move!
It is circular, impressive ...
Poue be honest, I would say
be found elsewhere, or you do not.
I speak for Apollo 11
and Orchestra Piazza Vittorio.
Everyone is not a technician and no one will understand
we have done the best possible.
I realized the disaster. What can we do to fix it?
It opens here ... like this ...
Well, here it goes, amplifying violently ...
When we went to inspect,
we were asked to an acoustic concert.
Without any type of microphone.
Maximum you can afford
six monitors for the entire group.
If everyone does not intend its own sound,
if we do not get along,
then we can not improvise well.
It assumes
a more careful ...
If the drums are next di sitar, they will kill him.
If the drums are next to the sitar, they will kill him.
Repeat! You always do!
Sorry, but this is the Indian ...
I know, but I learned myself, and I just Caserta!
It is enough to hear you!
With the voice you have!
My brother yelled really ...
Why?
He said: "What are you doing? Who are you playing? "
He is pissed because you play with a lower caste?
There is no caste I do not care, caste.
I'm talking about music.
You believe that Uto Ughi plays and sings with other people?
- No. - Who?
Uto Ughi, violinist, or other serious musician.
Sagheer, go!
Be reasonable, it is not comparable.
Uto Ughi is the largest violinist in the world.
Are you the greatest player Sitar?
I will ask them level.
You're good, but are you the best?
Not the greatest, ask him.
You find the height, technically?
- Musically, no. - You do not like?
No, the song and the way playing Rahis not.
And Bilal?
Yes, he has an incredible talent.
It is spectacular, it is very beautiful.
But musically?
It is different in the world music.
If I talk to my students, Mario,
us musicians.
To the public, each musician is a flower,
one is a rose, another jasmine,
another, a daisy.
Flavio told you ...
most are Muslims?
- They do not eat pork ... - Yes, I know everything.
He does not eat pork, but he drinks.
But what he sings? A song without words ...
If this is not a song, What is it?
A piece of music, that's all.
A song without words is not a song.
But the melody is beautiful.
Ok, but this is not a song.
Wordless there is no song.
- He was born? - Yes!
Super!
Congratulations!
My compliments!
- Lorenzo? - Lorenzino!
If you hear of something rent in the area ...
I was expelled.
If you hear about a place ...
I have to listen ...
But listening for three hours already ...
What is it?
Why did you stop?
Go play, I talk a moment with the singers.
Abdallah, you were not there yesterday ...
This is not a break.
I just spoke with the singers.
We have a few days, we must be ready.
There was no time to recover.
Apollo 11 is money.
Is repeated in a week
because it is what we can afford.
If we had a month it would have been easier.
It's late ...
That is, but gotta go.
- You called when? This morning? - Yesterday evening.
How she took?
She was well aware, too.
She would not sing in the second part,
we had no time to rehearse.
In the first, it has only two stanzas ...
Filio is no longer in the group.
This is a decision we took with her
because she needed time to ...
Study, adapt to the group.
I suffered for it,
she could not integrate spontaneously.
Overall, it was decided that too bad this time
when we have time to study, dedicate time
it will return in the group.
That being said, we will check the sound.
Someone starts only or share it with the battery, Mario?
Holy shit!
In how many groups you played?
First set
its introduction, 4-5 minutes ...
Meanwhile, we sit, one checks the sound.
I'm going there?
Afterwards.
The second song?
You're the third I'll tell you when.
One, two, three: shit!
RomaEuropa Festival 2002
in collaboration with Apollo 11,
This preview absolute
Orchestra of Piazza Vittorio.
In reality, this first concert,
more than a beginning, was a kind of rehearsal.
However, we were all surprised that evening.
Even on stage, all looked with amazement,
as if they suddenly realized
they were not just musicians who played together,
but a real orchestra.
A few years have passed
after the first concert believed to be the last.
But we did a lot of other
we realized our dream
we created an orchestra stable.
The mayor finally announced
work begins Apollo cinema.
Gradually, our local became more welcoming.
This is where all other activities,
were recorded Albums of the orchestra,
that in the first years of life
has seen a succession more than thirty musicians.
Some were quickly integrated.
I present to you Giuseppe, will be with us 4 and 5.
- He plays an instrument ... - The Horn.
Others left.
As Marian and Karam who difficult to settle in Rome.
And as Sagheer,
who could not stand to play with musicians
less qualified than him.
Rahis party is also ...
By trying to pass Musicians family members.
We only believe for his little brother, Amrit,
which, according to him, was an extraordinary tabla ...
Hi, Rahis.
Well ... how are you?
Listen, I want to tell you
what we did with Mario.
Do you remember this song?
Lovers
Never sleep
Why did you fall asleep?
We changed the pace.
This is slower now.
It seems like it
an American blues.
"If you knew what Rome ..."
All shops will close, displays all shut,
carers not go to work,
Northern factories shut,
we show the strength of immigrants in Italy.
In memory of Dino Frisullo
Now the Apollo 11 project,
this is a project that we share here on this site.
With
And after ...
And also ...
Apollo 11 and all ...
This is bullshit.
It does not make sense.
There are no words.
