Calogero: the primordial role of his brother Gioacchino with Johnny Hallyday, Céline Dion and Florent Pagny!

Calogero has been savoring the life of Quinqua for four years. Four years that he remains straight in his musically boots, both for him and for his famous friends for whom he does not hesitate to compose tubes on tubes. In an interview which he granted to Paris Match A few years ago, the recently robbed artist admitted to a certain nostalgia to compose his songs. “I am nostalgic for better being able to hang on to the future, underlined the interpreter ofHaving weightless. The current fashion of vintage is great if it is combined with modernity. I also have the impression that we live an era more dangerous, less freewith more voyeurism, including social networks that can break people’s lives. “

An observation that he illustrated with the relationship that his daughters have with Instagram and Facebook. “”If someone does not have a maximum of likes, if it is not popular, it can be very violent, added Calogero. What a pity that this word has changed meaning! A popular singer was the one who spoke to everyone, popular films were those with Gabin or Funès … “

Absent social networks deliberately (only pages “official” purely promotional are online, editor’s note, offering no immersion or interaction with the singer’s life), Calogero explained this “Personal choice” : “And it will end up being fashionable, he predicted. Constantly showing that his life is great can be a trap. I prohibit the table screens for my children. I am an old -fashioned father. It is I who eat and the meal is a sacred moment. Even in my recomposed family … We must not sacrifice everything to social networks, we should rather try to transmit. This is what I try to do at my level. “

Arrived very young at the top with his group ChartsCalogero has always been able to keep a cool head. A self-control which he tries to bequeath to his four children, from different mothers. When her eldest daughter, Nina, asked her about this worker side, in the columns of Gala Last year, Calogero replied: “Brel thought that talent does not exist And that we end up eating lobster, because we wanted it. I still think that the talent exists but that it is necessary to work it. I would have lived very badly that my children are not receptive to this idea. “

Calogero: His older brother signed hits for Johnny, Louane or Céline Dion!

To support his point, Calogero modestly evoked the one without whom everything would have been different in his career. The one who has never stopped accompanying him in his careeralready by his side at Chartsand still there for him since: his big brother Gioacchino. “Your uncle Gioacchino has always been a hyperdoué melodist, but, younger, he could have the nonchalance of those who have facilities, underlined the singer of In front of the sea. Our father was a little hard with him. Today, Gio can work like a patient. “ And it is possible to say!

Stayed in the shadow of his little brother for decades, Gioacchino Maurici is a work beast. Key Charts In the 90s, he decided to stand on his own two feet in 1998 by signing with the label of Pascal Obispo. This will not prevent him from working in collaboration with his little brother Calogero by co-hilling some of his greatest hits such as In front of the sea (which will be worth a victory for music and an NRJ Music Award in Calogero in 2004). Music victory that the two brothers will win three years later for the tube If only I could miss himwhich deals with a subject that touches the two brothers: their father. In 2007, it was Apple c that the duo will sign not without success. Will follow other great successes for Calogero and its elder such as The portrait In 2014, Fireworks in 2016 or even Fundamentalwhose clip was produced by a certain Claude Lelouch.

But the artistic history of Gioacchino Maurici does not stop at family borders. Other artists called on his talent and his work force … and not the least! Between 2000 and 2003, Florent Pagny will be the first to interpret Châtelet-les-Halles, The air of time or even Is a trace. Johnny Hallyday will follow in 2008, who will perform It will never enda title taken from the eponymous album and from which Calogero will sign the lyrics. Another headliner Yé-Yu having called on the compositions of Gioacchino Maurici: Françoise Hardy will sing The rain without umbrella in the album Black and white In 2010. Another interpreter noticed to collaborate with the elder of Calogero: Louane will thank him for the pretty If you were there. Internationally, Giracchino Mauriti in Sétuire Celine Dion for whom he will make the music of Miracle (album Without waiting). It is also to him that we owe the melodies of musicals The ten commandments (2000), Circus (2012) or even Robin of woodswhich was embodied by Matt Pokora between 2013 and 2014.

You will understand: at the Maurici, talent and work go hand in hand… “I would be well embarrassed to have a brother who would be a mediocre composer, declared the journalists of the Dauphiné liberated in October 2023. Quite honestly, this is one of the best melodists I know. We grew up together, we made music together, we discovered Ennio Morricone together (…) and it turned out to be stronger! “ To see the list of his collaborations, we can only acquire …
