Ataraxia is a band we followed since their very beginnings in the early nineties. The androgynous, powerful voice of Francesca Nicoli was very impressive and we could already feel the originality of a great band. They are very literate people, excellent musicians and they have tried many different things throughout their career which shows their will to always explore new territories. When we learned about their playing in Lyon, we took our car, even if it was a long ride, and went to see them because we knew we would not be disappointed. The show was just excellent, presenting a lot of songs from Llyr and Kremasta Nera, and a heart-breaking cover of "Gloomy Sunday" with lyrics translated into Italian. Francesca Nicoli has charisma and generosity, and I was happily surprised when she told me we could make the entire interview in French, with her charming Italian accent.
