CREMONA MUSICA SPECIAL AWARD
We are pleased to award the Cremona Musica Award 2024, Special Musical Projects section, to the “Baracca & Burattini” record label, producer of the two CDs “Parole Liberate”, volume 1 and volume 2.
“Parole Liberate” is a musical, cultural and social project presented by the Association “Parole liberate, beyond the prison wall APS” which offers prisoners to write a text that becomes a song thanks to the contribution of important musicians and arrangers. The initiative saw the participation of many prisoners and various names from the Italian and international music scene, bringing significant recognition from the Ministry of Culture, the Chamber of Deputies, the Lombardy Region and various Italian municipal administrations.
The two record productions have won important national awards and for two consecutive years were finalists in the Targhe Tenco.
The “Baracca & Burattini” label, directed by Paolo Bedini, has recorded many artists from the Italian avant-garde music scene, contributing significantly to successful artistic careers and producing tours and live events, with important recognition also in the international field .
The Award will be awarded on Sunday 29th at the AGV Events Area, followed by a concert by various artists involved in the project on the external Live Stage

PRESENTATION OF CD “LONG TIME GONE”
In September 2023 at the Acoustic Guitar Village in Cremona it seemed right to pay homage to the memory of David Crosby, for his greatness as a musician, composer and singer-guitarist. It was an unforgettable day, with many musician friends who sang and played his wonderful songs with sincere affection and gratitude, to the point of moving many.
We thank Jeff Pevar, David’s sideman and the first to be moved…. and friends Alberto Grollo and Francesco Lucarelli with whom, after that beautiful day, we decided to follow up the memory with this CD of interpretations of David’s music recorded by some of the best Italian singer-guitarists, with some welcome incursions from international artists . Thanks also to the precious collaboration of Andrea Del Favero.
The presentation of the CD, now completed, will take place on Sunday 29th in the Events Area of ​​the Acoustic Guitar Village, don’t miss it!
