If this life is hell we’ll put it on paper, but we won’t go shopping, it’ll just be a waiting game. May a million clouds pass and the heart resume its course.
Hello Matteo, hello Johnny, hello Mareo, hello J, hello Quincy, hello Romagolo, hello Gennaro and hello another million ways we have called you in these years of living with you where you saved our lives, you scolded us, you loved us more than anyone. Without you we are only 5 assholes, before there were 6 of us and it was much better. Before there were a million of us and it was beautiful, because you let everyone in and only inside your creature could so many freaks live together, only inside garrincha is it possible to find your love for flaws and perfection. Now we’re broken, but from these pieces we’ll try to build something IMPUBLICABLE, that you, wherever you are from, will make music.
The label’s farewell to Matteo Romagnoli
Matteo Romagnoli had founded the Garrincha Discs in 2008 and had produced music for over 40 Italian artists and groups. The most famous are precisely Lo Stato Sociale, for which he had given life, among others, to the award-winning song Una Vita in Vacanza, runner-up at the Sanremo Festival of 2018.
La Garrincha, in a touching postgreeted its founder thus:
“Matteo loved songs, writing songs. Go to concerts, do concerts. Collecting records, making records. Someone who if he hadn’t spent all that money on music would have bought his own house… even a pretty big one“.
A visionary capable of paving a road where there was no road yet. Matteo gave birth to a scene, discovering and producing with his creature, Garrincha Dischi, some of the seminal bands for the Italian independent scene. Matteo was able to imagine and create a new musical world: free, because, even if the others didn’t want us, we were convinced that our music could reach many people. He knew how to see the beauty in the flaws and crafted, by hand and with love, the songs from the demo (which is always better!) to the cover. Matteo has always loved bringing people together, which is why Garrincha remains a party. Thank you from your little big weirdo
