Musical Globe

The Corsican song Solenzara was an international hit in the sixties, translated into fifteen languages. Twenty-five years later, unbeknown to the original creators, Goran Bregovic used the music as the basis for his composition In the Deathcar, sung by Iggy Pop. The soundtrack to the film Arizona Dream by Emir Kusturica experienced an even greater success than Solenzara. How just a few notes managed to captivate the public for more than fifty years? What exactly is it that they stir within us? As well as documenting the song’s history, the film tells of how the nostalgia and affection felt forSolenzara brings cultures and artists from all over the world together.
