Sister Flavio’s first live album is released, for the benefit of a picnic area in Mar del Plata

Flavio Cianciarulo, better known as Mr. Flavio, released last week the second preview of his next album, which he recorded live last December 2021, from the Los Chicos del Fondo picnic area in Mar del Plata.

The cut chosen was a new version of The presenttheme that belongs to his solo album new wave2011. Previously, in March, he had cured The sound of blackhis version of a traditional Mexican song, the release of which coincided with a tour in Mexico.

Currently, Flavio is based in Florianópolis, where he traveled to accompany his daughter Cocó, who is part of the Argentine surf team and went to train for a Pan-American tournament in August.

Towards the live album

“All these releases – Florip’s stories – respond to an absolutely premeditated plan. Going back a little bit, this live album has to do with a place that I started helping, which is the Los Chicos picnic area of ​​the Fondo, in Mar del D’Argento “.

Why did you decide to register there?

– It turns out that in a pre-pandemic period I was playing with great pleasure and pleasure in the underground of Mar del Plata, in historical places such as the Vinoteca Perrier and La Biblioteca Popular Juventud Moderna, with my children and my solo band. In this context, it occurred to me to do charity recitals instead of charging for admission, where people brought non-perishable food.

– Is that how you came into contact with the diner?

-Yup. A friend hooked me up with a picnic area and we played and it went very well. Then I found another one, until I met the one of Los Chicos del Fondo and I was very hooked on it, but the pandemic touched us and no one else played because we went into confinement. And on my birthday 2020 I threw away the slogan that give me the value of a brick to donate to the picnic area. It was a success and it was possible to put together a work because they cooked in very fragile boxes.

-This led to the recital and the videos.

-Yup. The point is that I stayed in touch with them, who are on the western outskirts of the city of Mar del Plata, right where the city ends and after that there is only the countryside. I played there again and it occurred to me to record the live album I’ve had in mind for a long time. It was complex, but I took the risk of making it simple and of little value. that’s where it comes from The presentwhich is the advance of the album which will be released this Friday, along with a video of the recital.

-Only a “gift” for them, because it is for the benefit of the place.

I didn’t realize the coincidence. What I want to point out is that I am infatuated with doing it there, even though I could do it anywhere in Buenos Aires. I didn’t want to do it in a theater and then donate the money. I wanted to play right there. I put together a crew with a sound engineer and a whole team, with videomakers, and we started joining forces.

-What is the list of songs on the album?

– Basically revisited my solo career and there is also the premiere of Dear mother, which is a new topic. There are songs on the Cadillacs that I like Manuel Santillan the lion, Bad Bug Y skulls and devils.

-When do you leave the beach and pick up the bass again?

-At the moment. For now I take advantage of it and I started training Brazilian ju-jitsu, which I started relatively recently in Chapadmalal, where I live, and it has become a passion, like a beautiful addiction.

Didn’t you do ju-jitsu at the time of your album with Ricardo Iorio, or was it another martial art?

-I did kick-boxing at that time or just before. It was my first foray into martial arts and I haven’t done anything else since, until now. I’ll be back in a month and I want to activate the recitals in the underground of Mar del Plata. Now what I want most is to play and preview the video, which is a short film that has a lot of focus on the picnic area scene and there is great love magic in it. It was made in black and white at my suggestion because I envisioned it that way and the filmmakers loved it.
