THE ROAD TO ‘HULA’

The trip / tour destination Palermo (Sicily) where the songwriter Buzzy Lao will record the awaited debut album ‘HULA’ with the producer Fabio Rizzo (Pan Del Diavolo, Dimartino, Alessio Bondí).

Guitarist and songwriter, La Stampa has defined Buzzy Lao as “a latest generation bluesman.” His roots are the rhythm of Blues and Reggae, combined with the intimate sound and depth of Italian songwriters.

After long travels in Europe and England, experiencing street music, gigs and some of the most highly regarded live venues in London, in 2015 he returned to his hometown, Turin, and released his first single in Italian ‘Lacrime d’amore. From here he started an intensive set of gigs, accompanied on stage by several guitars, including the Weissenborn style lap steel and a band formed by drums and bass.

What is ‘HULA’?

The long-awaited debut album, HULA, an acronym for ‘Hanno Ucciso L’ Amore’, is the result of a year of writing which distills a myriad of musical and personal life experiences, but also represents much more – arrival at the end of a long journey, a destination, a goal.

Our crowdfunding campaign will follow the travels of Buzzy Lao on the road to HULA, where each of the 13 stops of the tour represents one of the 13 songs on the album. Departure of the tour is scheduled from Turin and it will conclude in Palermo, Sicily, where, as the final destination of the journey, the album will be recorded in April 2016 with the producer Fabio Rizzo (Pan Del Diavolo, Dimartino, Alessio Bondí).

Our supporters will be able to follow the travels of Buzzy Lao through a map on his website which will contain interactive links dedicated to crowdfunders, who will have exclusive access to videos, photographs and a logbook charting the path of his adventures.

How to follow the journey?

Through the interactive map on the Buzzy Lao website inviaggioversohula.buzzylao.com.

This map has been created for you, to let you join and follow stop by stop “The Road To HULA” travel.

At each 13 stages of the journey, we will film an acoustic live video of one of the 13 songs on the album.

The eclectic Winki, a writer, traveller and adventurer, will be the narrator of our adventures, sharing with you the 13 stages of the journey in the logbook of Buzzy Lao, that you will find in each video.

For now this contents will be dedicated exclusively to the raisers of the Crowdfunding, later in the trip will be unlocked, and at that point we will ask you to help us to share them on socials and anywhere!
