The following video is my conversation with my friends Christian Landaeta and Vittorio Nocenzi. It took place on 12/13/2020 from his home in Rome.
Italian keyboard player, born in 1951 in Marino (Rome), he studied piano, clarinet, church organ, harmony. In 1969 he founded the Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, one of the most important examples of global contamination, where classical music, rock, jazz merge and accept the suggestions of experimentation in the areas of language of art. He also has written numerous Soundtracks for films and TV (Naked woman Manfredi, Dove G. Battiato, crude oil and hazardous T. Torquato, etc). Banco del Mutuo Soccorso (English: Bank of Mutual Relief) is an Italian rock band. A popular progressive rock band in the 1970s, they continued making music in the 1980s and 1990s. Recently, they were still active, playing live in 2001 and 2008 at NEARfest. Their charismatic frontman, Francesco Di Giacomo, died in 2014.
Christian Landaeta is an unconditional music fan, record collector and RU-vidr who grew up listening to the 60’s orchestras, singers, and classical music, later adding progressive rock, electronic music, Krautrock, jazz-rock and movie soundtracks as a teenager. He first showed his passion for radio programming when still in high-school and has worked for leading Chilean Fm radios as well as on-line stations. Old records players, radio consoles, and jukeboxes, are also on top of the hobby list for this English Teacher with a degree in English Linguistics
