Noa and Nabil recieve the honorary citizenship of Melpignano (Italy) for their activity for peace
.jpg)
"We have a dream" said loudly Noa and Nabil holding hands in the suggestive square of Melpignano, in the heart of Salento, where the administration has conferred them the honorary citizenship. The little Leccese community wants to share the dreams of both artists, the Israeli singer Noa and the palestinian musician Nabil, busy working for peace and the cohabitation between israelis and palestinians.

Italian article about Noa
la storia di una delle cantautrici più affascinanti del panorama musicale, capace di raccogliere la millenaria eredità del suo popolo e rifonderla nei suoni contemporanei.
Achinoam Nini, questo il suo vero nome, nasce nel 1972 a Tel Aviv da una famiglia di origini yemenite, ma lascia all'età di un anno Israele per New York, dove il padre studia ingegneria alla Columbia University.
Nella "big apple" l'aspetta una scuola religiosa con tanto di mistici cori.
Ha solo 12 anni quando comincia ad incidere i suoi brani: una bambina prodigio, insomma, destinata a frequentare la "High School Permorming Arts"… Sì, quella di "Saranno famosi", tanto per intendersi. Ma è un periodo strano. Una profonda crisi di identità si impossessa della giovane Noa, che lascia la scuola: "Crescevo negli States ma non mi sentivo americana.
A casa ero yemenita: il cibo, la musica, i libri, la cultura, tutto insomma.
Dalle strade e dai pochi amici raccattavo un po' di musica americana: Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Billy Joel, Prince. Ma c'era qualcosa che non andava in me".

Noa's concert in Segesta (Sicilia, Italy)
An all known smashing hit for the long waited Segesta performance of the Israeli-Yemenite singer Noa who was brought up in the USA until the age of 17. And it was equally known that the audience would come numerous, as it carpet-covered every inch of the sapce before the Doric Temple © by Giusy Sena
Between the Temple and the audience, there she was, a spring of communicative energy, Achinoam Nini, this being her real name which means 'sister of peace'. More than a name, it sounds like a 'mandate' which is leading and characterizing this charming and eclettic performer's human as well as artistic life.
The show starts with a rap medley of extracts from some of her recent hits, which she used and paraphrased in order to create an immediate and direct emotional contact with the spectators. "Blue touches blue", "The beauty of that", "Again and again", words repeated several times like: me, you, heart, to look at, contact, to be here. She was there indeed, and so was the audience, involved and bewitched by such extraordinary and overwhelming talent and expressive charge, never so much, though, to overshadow her grace and spiritual sensibility...

Italian reviews of the album Blue Touches Blue
More info at www.noasite.net Noa's Museum:
Noa: quando il blu tocca il blu…
In tour in Italia con il suo nuovo ed intenso "Blue touches blue", dedicato al luogo dove il cielo si incontra con il mare e dove stanno racchiusi i sogni.
"Per un certo periodo è stato assolutamente fuori moda cantare in una maniera che fosse bella … solo Barbara Streisand, Ella Fitzgerald e Joni Mitchell hanno avuto il coraggio di farlo… e, per quanto mi riguarda, io vado pazza per la bellezza": lo dice Noa, dea che non sa rinunciare a difendere il suo amore per la bellezza e per la pace, ciò che permette alla vita di essere degna e bella. Un amore racchiuso nel suo nome: Noa significa "sorella di pace", e lei ne va fiera. A portare il suo stesso nome è del resto anche la prima "femminista" della Bibbia, una donna coraggiosa che si fa restituire da Mosé il terreno lasciatole in eredità dal padre e immediatamente sottrattole. Come dire? Cantare in modo bello non è solo questione di stile, ma di cuore e energia.
"Blue touches blue"
L'album, noto al grande pubblico soprattutto per la poeticissima e delicata "Beautiful that way", tema della colonna sonora di "La vita è bella" cantata nella sua performance sanremese, è prodotto da Mike Hedges (Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Manic Street Preachers).
Noa torna a cantare ed incantare dopo 4 anni di silenzio ("Calling" è del '96), e lo fa con un album dal titolo anch'esso poeticissimo, coerentemente con le incantate atmosfere dell'intero CD.
