THE ULTIMATE QUARANTINE (AND NOT ONLY) PLAYLIST TO LISTEN TO
Playlist by Beatrice Finauro
Music is a universal language, which gathers all of us overcoming boundaries of age, gender, religion, nationality. Concerts and meetings of online music groups are celebrated, songs are played from balconies and windows, artists from all over the globe communicate live with their music, revealing their most intimate side.
In these days music has reached, comforted and warmed the hearts of many people, even and especially those lined up in the front line in the ward, in aid stations, on ambulances, in bed in their homes, or left to their own fate in slums or refugee camps.
To all of them and to all of us, to not forget and to move forward with more love and awareness that we are part of a one large family, the human race, this list is dedicated, collected and suggested by Beatrice Finauro (*see the bio below).
A list that is an invitation to positivity, to be listened to now, and which can become the announcement and accompaniment of a new normality.
Today, 1st May, this is our wish for peace.
