The new year will bring one of the most recognizable voices in Italian music to Lugano. Saturday, January 9, 2027, at 8:30 PM, Drupi will take the stage at the Palazzo dei Congressi for a concert entitled 50 years since Piccola e Fragile, designed to retrace the main stages of a career that began over half a century ago.
The event is aimed at audiences in Italian-speaking Switzerland and Italian music enthusiasts who have followed the artist's career over the years. The show will focus on the repertoire that has spanned generations, along with memories and stories related to the singer's personal and professional history.
From “Small and Fragile” to “I'm Going Away”
The show's title recalls one of Drupi's most famous songs. "Peccia e fragile" represents one of the most recognizable moments in his career and will be a highlight of the evening in Lugano.
The program will also include other songs from the artist's repertoire, including "Vado via , " "Sereno è ," " Regalami un sorriso," and "Sambariò ." These songs belong to different periods, but share a lasting presence in the audience's memory.
The setlist will therefore not be built solely around a single hit. The aim is to offer a synthesis of a career spanning decades and characterized by a distinctive voice, one of the defining elements of Drupi's musical identity.
An evening of music and memories
The announced concert format will alternate performances of the songs with moments dedicated to memories and anecdotes. The result should be a show that combines the musical with a narrative component, retracing episodes and moments from the singer's artistic career.
It's a way of revisiting the songs through the context in which they were created and the relationship built over time with the audience. The voice remains the fulcrum of the evening, while the stories help reconstruct the journey of an artist who remained active on the music scene for over fifty years.
A repertoire that spans generations
Drupi's artistic longevity is reflected in the diverse audiences who can relate to his songs. His best-known songs hail from different eras of Italian music and continue to resonate with personal moments and memories.
The Lugano concert fits precisely into this perspective: not just a succession of hits, but a journey through a part of the history of Italian song. "Piccola e fragile ," in particular, is the chosen reference to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary, offering the opportunity to hear live again a song that has maintained a strong recognizability over time.
