Abbiamo perso la nostra Voce | Silvia Cecchetti | TEDxTursi
Silvia Cecchetti racconta la difficoltà della ricerca della propria voce autentica in un mondo che ci spinge a piacere subito, sacrificando identità e profondità. La “Candy music” riflette una società che preferisce il consenso rapido alla verità. Ma l’unicità non si costruisce: si accoglie, come una sorgente che attende di sgorgare. Invita i giovani ad avere coraggio: scegliere semplicità invece di banalità, autenticità invece di viralità. Perché la vita, come la musica, ha senso solo quando la voce nasce dal nostro corpo e scegliamo di essere unici. Silvia Cecchetti è una voce che ha attraversato generi, palcoscenici e generazioni. Finalista a Sanremo Giovani ’94, ha debuttato con un album prodotto da Mogol e Mario Lavezzi. Ha condiviso il palco con artisti internazionali come Andrea Bocelli e Toto Cutugno negli Stati Uniti e in Canada. Nel 2009 ha esplorato la canzone d’autore italiana in chiave jazz con Tempi diversi, mentre nel 2013 e 2014 ha ottenuto riconoscimenti al Festival della Canzone Italiana di New York. Coautrice del saggio “La voce dei 5 sensi”, è fondatrice del centro musicale “VIVILATUAVOCE”, dove forma giovani autori e cantanti. Direttrice artistica dell’ultimo album e tour di Amii Stewart (2024), nel 2025 ha pubblicato Italian Songbook vol.1, dedicato ai grandi classici italiani degli anni ’50.
