‘u vurpe (il polpo)


(edizioni Suoni dall’ Italia / Guarino Ed. musicali)

DA BIRRA AL SIFONE
SOLFEGGIA SENSUALE
COI SUOI TORBIDI TENTACOLI
SULLE MADREPORE DEI FONDALI
E IN QUANTE LINGUE REPPA
MOSTRANDO IL SUO ESPERANTO
CHE EINSTEIN GLI FA UNA PIPPA
E LUI, LUI SE NE FA UN VANTO
LEGGE HUME DA SOLO AL BAR
SORSEGGIANDO CARDINAL
SBARELLA DI ORGASMI LA BELLA OTERO
E SPUTA INCHIOSTRO NERO
ALTRO CHE HOUDINI
ECTOCOTILO (polpo a sette braccia), LO CHIAMANO COSI’
MA ‘U VURPE, ‘U VURPE E DI VURPE CE NE’ UNO
‘U VURPE, ‘U VURPE E TUTTI GLI ALTRI SON NESSUNO
‘U VURPE, ‘U VURPE CHE MEGLIO NO, NON C’E’
‘U VURPE HO DETTO, MICA UN CAZZO DI RE (la donzella)
NON HA ENDO O ESOSCHELETRO
E SI INFILA DOVE GLI STRAPARE
E IN UN LAMPO SI CAMBIA D’ ABITO E COLORE
MENTRE IL NACCARIEDDE (lo sgombro) ROKER
APPARE SOPRA IL PALCO
E IL CONCERTO PUO’ GIA’ INIZIARE
IL CAURRO (granchio) FILOSOFO INNAMORATO DELLA SOGLIOLA
DI UN’AMORE NON RICAMBIATO
IN UNA TARANTO TALATTICA USCITA DAL MARE
DI UN MARE CHE ORMAI E’ DA SALVARE…
MA ‘U VURPE, ‘U VURPE E DI VURPE CE NE’ UNO
‘U VURPE, ‘U VURPE E TUTTI GLI ALTRI SON NESSUNO
‘U VURPE, ‘U VURPE CHE MEGLIO NO, NON C’E’
‘U VURPE HO DETTO, MICA UN CAZZO DI RE (la donzella)
LE VOPE ( boghe) PROLETARIE SON LA CLASSE “VOPERAIA”
LE VOPE CON LE LORO TUTE BLU
E IL LUPO BRANZINO CA’ FOTTE E TUTTO GNOTTE (che mangia e tutto ingoia)
DICE “IO SO’ PATRUNE E SOTTE TU!” (il padrone sono io e il sotto sei tu)
TARANTINI CON LA RAFFO (la birra dei tarantini) INFILZATA NELLA MANO
IN UNA TARANTO FERITA E SEMPRE IN GUERRA
PESCI E UOMINI DAL MARE DA DOVE VENIAMO
CON LE VITE “SPITTIRRATE” (traboccanti) DI BIRRA
MA ‘U VURPE, ‘U VURPE E DI VURPE CE NE’ UNO
‘U VURPE, ‘U VURPE E TUTTI GLI ALTRI SON NESSUNO
‘U VURPE, ‘U VURPE CHE MEGLIO NO, NON C’E’
‘U VURPE HO DETTO, MICA UN CAZZO DI RE
‘U VURPE, ‘U VURPE CHEMBA’ (compare) VENE N’ADDORE ( si sente un odore)
DA SUS’ ‘A LOGGE ( da sopra il balcone) D’UN PESCATORE
OH SANDE CATAVETE ( Santo Cataldo) PIENSECE TU! (pensaci tu)
‘U VURPE , ‘U VURPE HO DETTO E NINDE CCHIU’… ( e niente più)
NECOLE ( Nicola) AVEVA UN CANCRO MA NON SI E’ MAI ARRESO
E LA SORTE, IL DESTINO E COSI’ SIA
NON HA VOLUTO METTERCI UNA PIETRA DI CONTRAPPESO
E IL VENTO UN GIORNO SE L’E’ PORTATO VIA…
…E TU NO’ TE STUTE (non ti spegni)
NO’ TE STUTE MAI (non ti spegni mai)
NO, TU NO’, NO’ TE STUTE MAI…
NO, TU NO’, NO’ TE STUTE MAI
E TU NO’ TE STUTE...

Biografia

Nato a Lizzano, in provincia di Taranto, Mimmo Cavallo forgia la sua vena artistica trasferendosi prima a Torino e successivamente a Roma. Il suo esordio nel 1980 quando pubblica, per CGD, "Siamo Meridionali" album che rappresenta un modo nuovo e fresco, soprattutto vitale, di parlare del Sud. La particolarità della sua musica e dei suoi testi, una miscela di rock ironico e graffiante unito a ballate dolcissime, ne fa subito uno dei cantautori più originali della sua epoca. Non si può parlare di Mimmo Cavallo prescindendo dal suo luogo di appartenenza, il Salento, terra di primitivo e di taranta. In questo senso la sua musica è palesemente figlia delle danze frenetiche risalenti al medioevo (ma le cui radici sono ben più remote) influenzata e mixata dalle sue esperienze successive. Nei suoi ritmi c'è una sorta di presenza magica e rituale che riporta a una coreutica pagana, primitiva (si noti per esempio il grande uso dei tempi dispari, le innumerevoli "squadrature", l'uso del dialetto). Aver vissuto l'adolescenza a contatto con la cultura contadina porta Mimmo continuamente ad un attento e appassionato itinerario di ricerca delle radici non solo dell'animo taranto-salentina ma di tutto il sud (suo incommensurabile amore). In seguito vengono pubblicati "Uh, mammà" e "Stancami stancami musica". Scrive con Enzo Biagi "Ma che storia è questa", sigla della trasmissione televisiva La storia d'Italia a fumetti, ed è autore di canzoni poi portate al successo da molti artisti italiani tra cui Mia Martini, Gianni Morandi, Fiorella Mannoia, Ornella Vanoni, Loredana Bertè, Syria e Al Bano. Importante la sua collaborazione con Zucchero Sugar Fornaciari con cui di recente ha scritto "Vedo Nero" e "Non illudermi così" terza traccia inedita presente nella versione deluxe di "D.O.C.", il brano è la versione, riadattata, di "Don't make promises" di Tim Ardin, canzone folk del 1966. Dopo qualche anno di silenzio, dovuto alla rottura verso un "certo mondo discografico", inizia il sodalizio con DDD e nel 1989 esce "Non voglio essere uno spirito" seguito nel 1992 dall'autobiografico "L'incantautore". Nel 2011 con EDEL pubblica "Quando saremo fratelli uniti" e nel 2014 con Suoni dall'Italia "Dalla Parte delle Bestie". Attualmente è in lavorazione l'album di ritorno, di prossima pubblicazione, anticipato da "'U VURPE" dal 14 giugno in radio.
