A COMPOSITION FOR AN HIP-HOP TRACK
OUT NOW THE NEW CONCEPT-ALBUM BY MIGUEL VELASQUEZ, "CRAVEN ROAD" WITH THE CONTRIBUTION OF DARIO RODIGHIERO FOR ONE OF THE TRACKS.
"Very proud of having been part of this just released concept album, Craven Road, by the multi-talented Italian artist and hip-hop singer Miguel Velasquez, wisely based on a popular comic character, Dylan Dog.
Each track features different talented musicians who collaborated with their instruments/performance to create the music, therefore a variety of tastes and textures characterises the entire album, making it really eclectic.
About my contribution, It's been an interesting approach of making an Hip-hop "Ghotic Suburbia" style composition for the track "Paranormal Eve".
Here's the link to the track and the album on Spotify. Again, congrats to Velasquez and all the artists who made this happened!"
DARIO RODIGHIERO.

“Navigavia – Lei attende” written and performed by Velasquez, Dario Rodighiero and Salvatore Pagliaro is candidated for a Nomination as Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals at the 65th GRAMMY.
This song is part of the soundtrack created for the GDR campaign “Navigavia” by “InnTale”, the most followed YouTube channel in Italy in RPG.
The song is currently being promoted on socials using the hashtags #ForYourConsideration and #FYC, along with consistent support from InnTale fan groups.
This unexpected shortlist for a Grammy is the first one for this group, which has started working together only in 2022.
“Navigavia – Lei attende” is a funeral shanty song, played for the dramatic death of one of the character of the GDR. It sounds like a Viking song and a Pirate Shanty, and the lyrics seem like e poem for the Death who awaits his sons and daughters.
In the context of the story of Navigavia, a fantasy world where pirates have powers and music is an instrument for create magic, this song is a reminder for every man who takes the sea: she (the Death) is always awating like a mother.
