Navigavia - Scendi Dal Ponte
for BEST GLOBAL MUSIC PERFORMANCE
LaVaLend, Miguel Velasquez, Dario Rodighiero, Salvatore Pagliaro
"Scendi Dal Ponte" is an evocative sea chant that transports listeners into the mystical and treacherous waters of Navigavia, the fantasy pirate world of the popular Italian RPG game created by Inntale. This mesmerizing track is a collaboration between the multi-talented artist and content creator Valentina Gessaroli (LaVaLend), renowned writer and artist Miguel Velasquez, accomplished composer and pianist Dario Rodighiero, and virtuoso guitarist and composer Salvatore Pagliaro.
The song, a haunting mermaid's song, captures the essence of the ocean's mysteries, blending ethereal melodies with a rich tapestry of instruments that evoke the vastness and depth of the sea. LaVaLend's voice, both enchanting and eerie, lures the listener as if they were a sailor hearing the call of the deep. Her haunting vocals are complemented by Rodighiero's delicate yet powerful piano arrangements, which flow like the unpredictable waves of the ocean. Velasquez’s lyrical storytelling draws from ancient maritime legends, weaving a tale of love, loss, and the enigmatic pull of the sea. Pagliaro's guitar work, intricate and passionate, adds a layer of intensity, reflecting the danger and allure of the world beneath the waves.
"Scendi Dal Ponte" stands as a powerful testament to the creative synergy between its artists, blending traditional sea chant elements with a modern, cinematic sound. Its haunting melodies and rich storytelling make it not only a cornerstone of the "Navigavia" soundtrack but also a compelling candidate for Grammy consideration, celebrating the rich narrative and musical craftsmanship that brings the world of Navigavia to life.
