SQUINZANO – A large crowd had barely moved since their last respects to singer Salento Arigliano Nicholas, who died at 87 on the night between 30 and 31 March due to a heart attack. A grave loss for the world of music and lovers of jazz. Arigliano has devoted his life to his swing, debuting in 1946 on Radio Bari for all to become the one who brought jazz on television. “Sentimental,” “I sing ammore”, “Loving” and “Guilty” are just some of the songs that led him to success, together with the famous advertisement of digestive Antonetto, “so comfortable that you can also take the tram.”
In the Church of SS Annunziata Maria Squinzano, birthplace of the artist, have a lot of villagers gathered around to relatives, friends and admirers, including the singer Franco Simone, in a fit of emotion, he recalled Arigliano altar, stressing that never would have missed the funeral of a character that has marked the history of swing, whose death, among other things, he learned the news while on their way to Salento and listened to his music.
Dall’ambone wanted to say something the mayor of Squinzano, John Marra: “The last time Nicholas Arigliano has performed in public was right here in his home country, and at the end of her performance, pointed to all the lack of a theater, that we, in recent months, we designed and started building. I am convinced that there is most appropriate person to whom he dedicates Therefore, whilst I would not even be compared with anyone on the subject, I find the whole community agrees with me in choosing to name the new theater curtain to compatriot Nicolas Arigliano , which brought forward the name and honor of his homeland with his wonderful art.
