N.094 - Pino (From the moon)

Dedicated to an icon of Neapolitan identity, who masterfully wove together chords that embrace the richness of local tradition, the enveloping blues of America, and the jazz influences of club culture. In the illustration, the night sky is deep, with shades of dark blue and violet, dotted with small stars. The moon glows in a bright, almost golden yellow, and the guitar burns in an intense red. Pino is like a seventh chord: he carries a unique kind of melancholy, but his is not a painful sadness, it’s an emotion that leaves behind an ineffable smile. And ten years later, our hearts are still smiling. You’re still here, Pino, and from the moon you keep playing melodies for us.
