Description Cristina Donà is absolutely surprising. This shot was taken during her 2008 summer tour: since she had released a wonderful acoustic CD (Piccola Faccia) a few months before, I was expecting an acoustic concert. And that's the way she started the show. But suddenly, in the middle of the second song, it turned out to be a pop-rock concert, where the arrangements and verve were taken back to the roots of her musical career, with drums and electric guitar playing a first-rank role.

Wow, absolutely beyond expectations...

Cristina Donà

De Gasperi Park, Settimo Torinese, Italy

Con quel raggio dei riflettori, mi verebbe da dire "benedetta dalla musica"

Her love for the music, and your love for the music, make for a great symbiosis.

I wasn't sure whether I liked it that much at first glance. Then I closed my eyes, breathed in and out, and opened them again, and at that second look I found the photograph to be amazing.
Interesting how these things go. : )

yes it's strange, but i'm sure that if you look into your dark corners you'll be able to tell me what in the pic made you change your mind

very powerful shot, Stefano! i love this angle and diagonal strings of light and it has very passionate feeling - makes me wanna check out her songs (unfortunately i'm not familiar with her music)

thank you for your appreciation, and the fav.

here's a bunch of links you might check out... if you don't understand italian, you'll miss the lyrics, which are a noticeable feature of her music (well i can always translate some lyrics for you if you like the music at least):

she's just amazing - thank you Stefano!
i'll sure find her CD - i got some italian friends in here - maybe they'll bring it, would be cool

and sure i understand, i'd say it's folk, when the music is as much important as lyrics - seems to be very meaningful
