Yesterday was Earth Day and in Rome that meant a free Earth Day Concert featuring Ben Harper and Relentless7 plus Subsonica, Nnekka, and Bibi Tanga and the Selenites.
The concert was held in Piazza del Popolo--which is huge, but barely held all of us. And since Italians don't believe in personal space we were CRAMMED in. A guy in front of me had dreadlocks and would not stop swaying to the music so I kept getting hit in the face by them.
The concert was sponsored by National Geographic Music and they even planted trees in Rome to offset the carbon footprint the concert would make.
Here are some links to each group so you can get a sample of what they sound like:
Bibi Tanga and the Selenites
Nnekka
Subsonica
Ben Harper & Relentless7
The best part was when Ben Harper came back on stage for his encore and sang Under Pressure...finally a song that both Americans and Italians knew!!
