The singer-songwriter from Domodossola began his long chat by discussing an upcoming new album featuring Moni Ovadia (who in the 1970s was the lead singer of the Gruppo Folk Internazionale). Alberto Fortis, who turned 70 last June 3rd, began his career behind the drums, an instrument he requested as a child in a letter to Santa Claus. Only after playing in various bands did he begin to peer at the keyboard players in his own bands, before finally sitting down at the piano he had at home. Three names were crucial to his early career and a significant portion of his career (and he explains why in the interview): Alberto Salerno, Mara Maionchi, and Claudio Fabi. With his third album, he decided to move to the United States. There, at the Baked Potato, one of the jazz temples on Cahuenga Boulevard in Los Angeles, he met musicians like Abraham Laboriel on bass, Alex Acuña on drums and percussion, Dean Parks on guitar, and others who would later record with him, again in the Californian city, his third album, "La grande grotta," a work containing songs like "Settembre," the title track itself, and "La neña del Salvador," which peaked at number three. The present (or future) tells us, however, that Alberto Fortis also has many new projects.
