Performed in both Italian and English as a duet, this song and visuals shares the uplifting goal we sought during the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic, when we could not gather, and many were suffering in isolation. Taking inspiration from Italy in their initial lockdown when they could not be together physically, but came together via music, singing from balconies and rooftops - we took the music to the streets in a unique mobile format, sharing feel good music as an embrace and message of love and courage.
Now, almost a year and a half later, there is light at the end of the tunnel as the city and world begins to re-open. Although once again we will be unable to share the popular Italian Day on The Drive cultural street festival, drawing hundreds of thousands attendees during June's Italian Heritage Month, the celebrations will creatively continue with what we celebrate above all else - LOVE. While we gradually enter an encouraging new chapter with respect to the pandemic, we reflect on these challenging times, including the social unrest, division and even hate, and feel moved to make a call to ALL people for the much needed ingredients of UNITY and LOVE as we look to the future with hope.
Thank you to all partners and sponsors who support our heritage, Italian culture and the community embrace our events and values offer; and who during these difficult times hold hands with us to share the universal language of music to uplift, heal and touch hearts with light.
Love. AMA.
Footage:
Mobile footage included in this video is from August 2020 representing a two part 'pop-up' music series we produced in float form in lieu of our annual festival, which was cancelled due to COVID-19. The purpose was to share uplifting messages of 'courage' via the magic of music, while also supporting mental health awareness, and raising funds for programs run by Coast Mental Health. Although streets (here in Burnaby Heights) were quiet due to COVID-19 restrictions and our music train a surprise, we were moved with the many smiles and people's waving hands coming from balconies, windows, street pedestrians and vehicles. Love was in the air, and it was a truly uplifting experience for all.
