METALHEAD REACTS| CAPAREZZA - AVRAI RAGIONE TU

[@usernamemaybe]

I wish more people understood Italian just to grasp the brilliance of this man’s lyrics. He’s on an other level

[@gartortol]

Ciao sono felice che apprezzi le nostre canzoni

[@noirgraphic]

"cercavo spazio e mi mandavano a Gagarin" > "i was looking for space and they sent me to Gagarin". But "mandare a Gagarin" sounds like "mandare a cagare", that stands for "they sent me to fuck me off". Every Caparezza's rhyme is brilliant and precious, like a treasure with multiple meanings!

[@victorfries8859]

I laugh outloud every damn time i listen to that line 😂👌i can't help myself! Its genious!

[@falxnecis]

The T-shirt is a pun: they are Karl MARX (Father of Communism) and Bud SPENCER (Italian actor)... "MARKS AND SPENCER" is a famous British multinational retailer

[@MsSicily86]

think some of the points made here have deep Italian cultural references to our politics that could be difficult to understand for foreigners. For example, he mentions CasaPound which is a fascist party (unofficially because the government prohibits any political party to be fascist). So when he says that "I have a Che Guevara t-shirt and go to CasaPound" he literally means that he is going to be beaten soundly because CasaPound (whose name derives from Ezra Pound, American poet and strong supporter of fascism and Mussolini) notoriously hates communists. Another reference to Italian politics is the northern league (which should be called Lega Nord and its members leghisti), a right-wing party that in the past was for the independence of the Padania region in the north of Italy. There is a huge irony in the part where he mentions Lega Nord because he says that he will support an independent Padania (which was Lega Nord's objective) so that he can call the Leghisti "extracomunitari". Extracomunitari by definition are all the people outside of the European Community (EU) but Lega Nord often used it as a derogatory way to call the immigrants and the "outsiders". So Caparezza is saying that if the Leghisti are outside of the EU, then Leghisti are extracomunitari too. This is an example but also in the next verses it is clear that Caparezza is being sarcastic and that he is making fun of the stupidity of the people who try to categorise him based on ideologies ..... buona notte

[@albertorizzotti6244]

What a great explanation! Well done, Tony.

[@victorfries8859]

And Just to make it clear, Padania does not exists di per se, It Is a made up name to identify a part of Pianura Padana for political reasons as said above ^ And fuck fascists and fuck racists we don't need you and your fear tactics because you just want political leverage, more power and money. Fuck ya'll! :) 💙🙏 Fascists and leghisti ( they're also homofobes, not just racists) should stop. Just stop lol Vive la revolutión! 🏳️‍🌈

[@hika_ariel]

Also, for context: this song is a direct answer to those who call him "a communist" (since he's openly leftist, which in Italy like most countries doesn't necessarily mean to be a communist lol) and he puns with the fact that "communists are in your minds only (meaning his haters see something that it's not there) just like they are in mine" (because he's crazy in the video, which takes place in his head where there are communists, just like those people accuse him to be). There are also a lot of cultural references but one of my favourites has to be "they say it's not ok to put the foosball's ballilas upside down". Ballila(s) are both those players figures in table football and how kids were called during the fascists era. Mussolini (the fascist dictator) was also hanged upside down, so being upside down is connected to fascism in the italian imaginary.

[@gdm3045]

I'm adding my comment as a plus: in the song he also refers to "CasaPound", which is a neo fascist and populist group in Italy famous for its anarchy and violence. In the video they are the guys with the black jackets and shirts.

[@TheSpartanS196]

@Hika Ross not to contradict you, but he IS openly communist. And I don't mean it as a way to bash him, I'm communist too lol He even used to go to meetings of Alternativa Comunista (Communist Alternative), a small italian communist party. It's also easily understandable from the lyrics of his most political songs.

[@TheSpartanS196]

Even the verse "poi dicono che gli artisti sono comunisti, i comunisti ce li avete in testa... come me" he's basically saying that yes, he indeed is communist and in his specific case he is a communist artist

[@hika_ariel]

@@TheSpartanS196 sì ok ma il comunismo italiano non è quello che gli americani chiamano comunismo. Volevo solo evitare questo equivoco ecco. Diciamo che in generale è di sinistra comunque, non è sbagliato

[@HaganeNoGijutsushi]

​@@gdm3045 he specifically says "wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt and going to CasaPound", which is certainly a way to get beaten up. He's making fun of being an intentional provocateur, enraging people by pushing their political berserk buttons.

"gli omini del calcio balilla a testa in giù" is refered to table football where in official rule you can't put the player upside down and hit and also probably refere to Mvssolini that was hanged upside down

[@neutronalchemist3241]

Caparezza wrote many songs that are both very enjoyable/catchy and with a quite deep meaning. However all of those are quite difficult to translate because they are full of puns linked with Italian common saying. Among those, the ones I recall the most are: "Dalla parte del toro" ("Siding with the bull", charaterised by tunes typical of the corrida). "Vengo dalla luna" ("I'm from the Moon", on xenophobia). "Eroe" ("Hero", on "everyday heroes" that manages to keep their families safe and rise their children, charaterised by tunes typical of spaghetti western movies). "Abiura di me" ("Abjuration of myself" On the necessity to "go to the next level", charaterised by tunes typical of the videogames). "Argenti vive" ("Argenti lives" on the prevalence of bullies. Filippo Argenti was told to be young Dante Alighieri's bully in real life, and is in Dante's Inferno among the violents):

[@Sandra-gq4oi]

[@hana_flower875]

Argenti vive slaps and he'll surely like it since it's so metal, but just trying to explain what the song is about makes my head ache...

[@neutronalchemist3241]

Just to give some context on the very good videoclip: "Argenti vive" ("Argenti lives") talks about the prevalence of bullies. Filippo Argenti was told to be young Dante Alighieri's bully in real life, and is in Dante's Inferno among the violents.

[@a199063]

You should react also to Caparezza's "Io vengo dalla Luna", where he uses sci fi as a metaphor of racism and "Il secondo secondo me", where he plays with stereotypes and the irony of the difficulty of writing a second album.

[@nabucodorozon]

" ...è come quando sei malato di schizofrenia e il prete ti convince che il diavolo ti possiede!" Poesia pura

[@reikun7697]

he is just awesome. Not being Italian, you cannot get all the references he makes and the word jokes he creates. Those in particular are awesome since he uses often the same words giving them different meaning due to the context in which he places them. Yeah, it is funking hard and you have to be completely insane to do so, and I love him because of it

[@michelecoppola3323]

Caparezza e un genio, il riferimento degli uomini del calcio balilla a testa in giù e un capolavoro linguistico per riportare con la mente di fascisti appesi a testa in giù giustiziati in piazza dopo la guerra

[@wonder.monica]

Caparezza is a genius, Ang. In this video compares Giovanni Allevi, an Italian pianist, conductor and composer who I adore. I wish to react another Caparezza' s songs like: "Fuori dal tunnel", "Goodbye Malinconia" ft. Tony Hadley, Spandau Ballet' s lead singer (an English pop band famous in the 80s), "Vengo dalla luna", "La mia parte intollerante", "Ti fa stare bene".

[@victorfries8859]

Giovanni Allevi -Compares- 🚫 Giovanni Allevi Appears ✔️ ;)

[@werty0522]

the last part is sung by a singer named Diego Perrone who often accompanies caparezza in songs and concerts he's very good !

[@LRTOTAL]

Also, the last part is definitely a reference to "Eduard Khil - I Am Very Glad, as I'm Finally Returning Back Home" aka Trololol Most people who were not too young will remember it going viral in the early KZbin days

[@angelopanebianco8941]

Caparezza song are full of high metaphors, also me then I m italian sometimes I have problems to understand High metaphors

[@saskhArt]

Caparezza often put some satiric political fact on his text, so the media started to critics him saying that was a communist and too much political. in short this song is about that, he's making fun of the critics and saying his two cents as always in his peculiar, intricate and fantastic way

[@TheSpartanS196]

(he indeed is communist though, and I say that as both a die hard fan of him and as a communist)

[@marsa260796]

i listen to caparezza since i was 8, now im 25. i completely agree about you have to watch and listen at least 10 times every song to catch all the quotes, the notes and everything he puts in. most of the times, in his albums, he inserts also some eastereggs, and his fans have fun in listen the new album over and over to be the firsts to find the secrets

[@robertolanzone]

Dude you gotta react to Caparezza's "Argenti Vive", you'll love it! It's about a character from the Divine Comedy, called Argenti, dissing Dante Alighieri, bragging about the fact society awards violent people like him more than poets (ironic, as we now remember Argenti only because he was mentioned by Dante).

[@maurij1383]

Please, react to: "Abiura di me" from caparezza, it's one of the best songs ever created

[@waspjournals41]

It's a song joking about people who accuse him of being a communist. CasaPound is the Italian fascist party, they're horrible, and people from the far right who support them always accuse everyone who doesn't agree with them of being a communist. So Caparezza got fed up with their bullshit and wrote this song to make fun of these people and mock fascists in general. There's also a lot of references to government censorship in Russia, which tries to suppress any ideas that go against the Propaganda, just like fascists would like to do, showing that the far left and far right aren't so different after all in terms of tolerating ideas and opinions that don't agree with them. Brilliant song.

Bud Spencer is a Neapolitan actor, he always declared it in his interviews, "I'm not Italian, I'm Neapolitan". Caparezza cites Padania, that is a group of mainly racist politicians, mostly hate blacks, southerners, gypsies, etc. Bud Spencer is the answer to the racism that involves Northern Italy which denigrates and offends Southern Italy, the city of origin of Caparezza himself, "Caparezza is from Puglia (Molfetta)".

Groving up in Italy as a teenager - young adult in the 2000-2010s meant having a first hand impression of a country on the moral and economical decline. Caparezza openly denounces the corruption and the inadequacy and hypocrisy of the ruling class in his songs. In "legalize the premier" he talks about Silvio Berlusconi how he's subverting the legal system to avoid been sentenced for his crimes. His live performances are amazing too. Unfortunately he suffers from tinnitus and hearing loss so he can't tour too much these days. I rember seeing a concert at the "fuori orario" venue in Reggio Emilia on the 20th of may 2011.
