Metralla Rosa con Carla Tofano
A musician, singer-songwriter, poet, Bohemian beast and night entrepreneur of the underground, Gabriel Moreno will soon publish his first novel, becoming a writer of autobiographical prose.
It is thanks to Gabriel that London has the English version of Poetry Brothel, as well as a number of other alternative events where, unencumbered by ceremony but with an interesting hint of candid rebellion, peripheral urban nightlife meets its most lyrical and existentialist side.
They meet. They shake hands. They kiss.
Gabriel was born and raised in Gibraltar – a fragment of the world with a blissfully syncretistic identity – and Carla seized on the opportunity to delve into the polarities of his family heritage. The aim was to grasp how all these circumstances could have created the perfect environment for the growth of a unique artist, charming yet in constant debate with the status quo.
In this interview you will hear why London loves him, why Gabriel is a poet with a cause, and how Leonard Cohen, García Lorca, Jacques Cousteau and Fabrizio De André coexist within his very personal menu of style and political references.
And now, enjoy the interview (and the acoustic piece that Gabriel gave us!)

Musicista, cantautore, poeta, animale della vita bohémienne e imprenditore della notte underground, Gabriel Moreno diventerà presto anche scrittore di prosa autobiografica con la pubblicazione del suo primo romanzo.
Londra deve a Gabriel la versione inglese di Poetry Brothel ed altri eventi alternative in cui la periferia urbana notturna incontra il suo lato più lirico ed esistenzialista, senza solennità ma con un interessante accenno di candida ribellione.
Si incontrano. Si stringono la mano. Si baciano.
Gabriel è nato e cresciuto a Gibilterra – un pezzo di mondo con un’identità squisitamente sincretica – e Carla non ha perso l’occasione di approfondire le polarità del suo patrimonio familiare. Il tutto con l’obiettivo di cercare di capire come tutte queste circostanze possano aver creato il terreno di coltura perfetto per formare un artista unico, affascinante e in costante dibattito con lo status quo.
Scopri in questa intervista perché Londra lo ama, perché quella di Gabriel è una poesia impegnata, e come Leonard Cohen, García Lorca, Jacques Cousteau e Fabrizio De André coesistano nel suo personalissimo menù di riferimenti stilistici e politici.
E ora, godetevi l’intervista (e il brano acustico che Gabriel ci ha voluto donare!)

Músico, cantautor, poeta, animal de la vida bohemia y emprendedor de la noche subterránea, Gabriel Moreno también planea convertirse, muy pronto, en escritor de prosa autobiográfica, con la publicación de su primera novela.
Londres le debe a Gabriel la versión Inglesa de Poetry Brothel, y un número interesante de otras alternativas en las que la que, sin solemnidad alguna pero con un interesante dejo de cándida rebeldía, la noctámbula periferia urbana se encuentra con su lado más lírico y existencialista.
Se encuentran. Se dan la mano. Se besan.
Gabriel nació y creció en Gibraltar – un trozo de mundo con una identidad divinamente sincrética – y Carla no dejó pasar la oportunidad de hurgar en las polaridades de su propia herencia familiar. Todo con la finalidad de intentar comprender como todas estas circunstancias pudieron haber sido el perfecto caldo de cultivo en la formación de un artista único, encantador, y en constante debate con el estatus quo.
Descubre en esta entrevista porque Londres le ama, por que la de Gabriel es una poesía con causa, y cómo Leonard Cohen, García Lorca, Jacques Cousteau y Fabrizio De André coexisten en su muy personal menú de referencias estilísticas y políticas.
Y ahora, disfruten la entrevista (¡y el tema acústico que Gabriel nos regaló!)
