A Departure from the lush landscapes of Italy, where he usually serenades his loyal fans, Italian pop sensation Niccolò Fabi ventures towards a change of scenery this weekend. His destination — Mumbai — where a community of Italian pop enthusiasts eagerly anticipates his arrival. The decorated musician, who is set to perform his poetic compositions with Roberto Angelini on guitar and Pier Cortese on keyboard, gets candid about the shift from familiar stages to the vibrant energy of Mumbai and the challenges it poses.
“I am thrilled to be performing for an Indian audience for the first time, but I understand that there exists a palpable barrier between us,” Fabi admits. The 55-year-old singer-songwriter, who tells this writer that he likes to think of himself as more of a songwriter than a singer, adds, “I attach utmost importance to the lyrics behind the songs I compose. My songs are a blend of pop and acoustic folk that rely heavily on words. I am aware that when I perform in Mumbai tomorrow, these words that I have carefully crafted might not make sense to many.”
