A singer-songwriter who kept making music through decades of change and personal challenge.
If you want to get a feel for Concato, try 'Non Mi Scordare' first. Then maybe 'Tienimi Dentro Te', they both have that gentle, slightly worn quality he does so well.
Concato's songs have a quiet, lived-in quality that feels specific to Milan but speaks to anyone who's watched time pass. 'Non Mi Scordare' is the kind of tune that sticks with you, not flashy, just honest. He kept writing and recording even after a neurological diagnosis in 1991, which says something about what the work meant to him.
He started as a session musician in the early 1970s, working with Francesco Guccini before his debut album 'Storie di sempre' in 1974. Albums like 'Sassi' in 1983 and 'Oltre il giardino' in 2004 show him moving through different seasons without losing his voice. Collaborations with Lucio Dalla and Eugenio Finardi dotted the path.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
