“Bonfyah”, the title of the new album, is a symbol of living fire, a bonfire that shines in the night, a place where songs are born, a witness to stories. Giallo Man wrote most of the songs within a few months, born from the desire to express words, thoughts, feelings and sensations he felt in those moments, the thrill of starting a new journey and the joy of being able to share it with other artists.
There are many topics covered, from the inspirations born during the lockdown on the vision of humanity as a “potential rainbow” in Perilous Time to the mysticism of Signs (in combination with G Ras) up to autobiographical elements such as in Bonfyah and Risi Coi Gò (a piece in Venetian dialect) or dancehall songs like Fatty Girl. The track Alpha & Omega sees the participation of the talented Italian-Senegalese singer Awa Fall.
