Antonini,Elisabetta Beat Goes On CD

The Beat Goes on is a homage to the Beat Generation, the anti-conformist literary youth movement that developed in the U.S.A. during the 'fifties exemplified by authors Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Gregory Corso and Lawrence Ferlinghetti. The "Beats" were college students, writers ang poets hungry for culture and new experiences devoted to a mysticism induced by drugs and alcohol - living "on the road" as a means of self discovery. Their unsteadying words were at times mystical and at times revolutionary, getting their inspiration and expressive energy by emulating the new jazz music now spreading across the country. &# 13; the tracks including her originals, were all arranged by Miss Antonini and create an atmosphere of contrasts. The performance are electrifying and often startling. The voices of the "Beat Poets" are the common thread running throughout the work making them the real protagonists of the work in this dazzling, creative and original dialogue with the music.
