about

Giuseppe “Peppino” Impastato, one of Sicily's heroes, once said, “Flower that’s born, flower that grows, flower that dies, of the land are the tears, of the heart are the cries”. This quote beautifully captures the essence of the Sicilian people, who have endured thousands of years of conquests, foreign dominations, and have shown resistance and resilience in the face of adversity.

Alex Vecchietti's fourth solo album, "Per Pugnam Vicimus Lucem", is an exploration of this theme and is the first of a trilogy of albums dedicated to Sicily. The album blends synth wave and 80s sounds with raw rock and traditional Sicilian instruments, creating a unique crossover of analog and digital, old and new. The raw sounds reflect the sights and moods of Sicily, ranging from mellow mandolins and classical guitars to an impetuous brass section and edgy electric guitars.

"Per Pugnam Vicimus Lucem" pays tribute not only to the Sicilian people but also to its fallen heroes who fought against tyranny and organized crime, including Giovanni Falcone, Paolo Borsellino, and General Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa.

The album also reflects the dynamic and multifaceted nature of Sicily, where opposites meet, collide, and learn to coexist. It is a homage to a land that has been shaped by its tumultuous history and the strength of its people.

With this new crossover sound, Alex Vecchietti has created a captivating musical journey that offers a fresh perspective on Sicily and his own unique style.
