Hive Open Mic #219 - Bella Ciao (piano cover by @sanjalica)

Hi guys!

Here I am again this week with the topic of traditional music.
I had a lot of ideas and I really love traditional music. Although the new tracks that we have and that are coming to us can be really very good, our traditional tracks are still irreplaceable.

Today I played a traditional on the piano. It's about the song Bella Ciao. This is a famous Italian partisan song that has become a symbol of resistance and the fight for freedom. The song was written during the Second World War among Italian partisans who fought against fascist and Nazi forces.

The song Bella Ciao has its roots in workers' and peasants' songs from Italy, especially songs sung by workers in the sugarcane fields of Italy during the 19th and 20th centuries. The version we know today was shaped during World War II

The text of the song talks about a partisan who fights against the occupier, expressing his willingness to sacrifice his life for freedom.
The song became popular again around the world thanks to the series "La Casa de Papel", where it was used as a symbol of resistance and freedom.

Many artists have covered "Bella Ciao", including Manu Chao, Goran Bregocić and many others. Each version has its own stamp, but keeps the basic message of the song.

Listen to my cover and I hope you like it. :)
