Sol Levante

Camminando sul Pianeta C

Sol Levante


Al termine della mia camminata mattutina

Stamattina ho passeggiato nell'aria fresca del mattino. Mentre lasciavo l'uscio di casa, potevo vederla sotto il riflesso del Sol Levante. Non so perché, ma il riflesso del sole che si levava mi riportava il ricordo di Bernard Edwards, il mio ex-socio, co-fondatore della CHIC Organization. Lui è morto da quindici anni e poco tempo fa, il network televisivo WOWOW ha realizzato un documentario su di me. Una parte importante di questo film è dedicata alla morte di Bernard. E' mancato, dopo un nostro concerto, proprio in Giappone, conosciuta come la terra del Sol Levante.

You will hear a Nile Rodgers song today. It will make you happy.

Today's pop music—genre-crossing, gender-bending, racially mixed, visually stylish, and dominated by dance music with global appeal—is the world that Nile Rodgers created. In the 1970s and 1980s, he wrote and produced the songs that defined that era and everything that came after: "Le Freak," "Good Times," "We Are Family," "Like a Virgin," "Modern Love," "I'm Coming Out," "The Reflex," "Rapper's Delight." Aside from his own band, Chic, he worked with everyone from Diana Ross and Madonna to David Bowie and Duran Duran (not to mention Mick Jagger, Debbie Harry, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Michael Jackson, Prince, Rod Stewart, Robert Plant, Depeche Mode, Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, Grace Jones, Bryan Ferry, INXS, and the B-52's), transforming their music, selling millions of records, and redefining what a pop song could be.
