Peace & Climate Change Concert Tour Interview video

INTERVIEW WITH MICHEL MONTECROSSA, CONDUCTED BY GIANNI MONGRANDI FOR THE ITALIAN NEWSPAPER 'PREALPINA' ON 22nd FEBRUARY 2008 GIANNI MONGRANDI: "To sing for peace and to combat global warming - is this primarily meant to be an information or do you mean that music can activate higher energies? In fact all cultures know the form of the prayer-chant." MICHEL MONTECROSSA: "Me and my musicians are convinced that music can move higher energies. To sing for peace and combat global warming is for me a deepest inner need that I share with a growing number of the human family all over the world. I am singing for all of them and for a better future. My songs are not merely information. They are message and call to cooperate for saving the earth of all of us and in this sense they are also a prayer-chant." GIANNI MONGRANDI: "Tomorrow (Sunray Revolution Concert, 23.02.2008) you give in Mirapuri the first concert of the PEACE AND CLIMATE CHANGE CONCERT TOUR which then will travel through Europe. To which places will you go?" MICHEL MONTECROSSA: "During the entire year 2008 me and my Band THE CHOSEN FEW will be on the road in Europe for the PEACE AND CLIMATE CHANGE CONCERT TOUR. Starting from Mirapuri we will bring our songs to various places in Germany like Munich, Bad Sulza, Berlin, Meran in Tirol, Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Leukerbad in Switzerland. Further shows are in preparation for example in the Toskana, Italy, Bad Nauheim in Germany and places in England." GIANNI MONGRANDI: "You have created Cyber Rock as a new music style. What can you say about Cyber Rock?" MICHEL MONTECROSSA: "Cyber Rock is the fusion of Electronica and Guitar Power Rock with a healthy dose of Nu-Romance, Dance Drive and Metal and Slam Poetry Songlyrics, expressing everything that is moving us today." GIANNI MONGRANDI: "Do you think that music can change the world?" MICHEL MONTECROSSA: "I'm convinced that music can change the world if it commands the necessary intelligence and inspiring quality."
