"Reflections of Light" book to counter musician Francesco Riggio Briatico

S the title "Reflections of Light" the new volume of Antonio Francesco Riggio, eighty pages, a collection of poetry but also of thoughts, songs, reflections, aphorisms, prayers and more. Artistically known as Fog, Riggio is primarily a lyricist, singer, musician counter. In this volume of mixture has a strong need to communicate, the author tries to outline, in clarify and illustrate the best of his poetic style, artistic impression all staff in composing lines of poetry, but also thought about the reality that surrounds us. Riggio writes in the introduction to the pages and presents the reader: "I am a poor artist because I follow my ideals, without me contaminated by fads, by the current philosophical and mundane, like everyone else from doing." Francesco Riggio, Fog, is a young man with many ideas in my head that carries on for years, thanks mainly to the depth of his faith. Born in Tropea, now lives and works in Briatico where he began studying drums, then, subsequently, many other instruments, guitar, bass, piano and also singing. Years and years a cantare e suonare tutti i giorni e a comporre, a scrivere le sue canzoni. Ad oggi Francesco Riggio ha pubblicato ben nove album e la sua speranza più grande è quella che la sua inedita testimonianza di scrittura e di musica possa “aiutare la gente ad aprire gli occhi su ciò che la circonda e sull'immensa pressione del sistema chiamato mondo! La vera libertà - aggiunge- consiste nel non farsi soggiogare dal male, ma nel vivere i propri ideali, soprattutto nell'amore. La fede e l'amore sono le chiavi della libertà dell'uomo!”. Il suo personale obiettivo è quello di “liberare la musica dalle catene che la legano al conformismo e al mercato, diffondendo un genere di musica senza fini di lucro. Suonare must be above all a passion that must be exercised freely-more-allowing the artist to express their talents without any constraint due to an economic report. "

Riggio says he does not prefer one type of music, but many genres ranging from Rap to Rock, from Blues to Folk, Jazz electronics, combined with a pinch of psychedelic, atmospheric style of music very personal. Besides the passion for music Francesco Riggio loves the visual arts , nature, prayer, history ... has a strong dissent to the television now considers only as "an instrument of commerce, without more educational content, which could and should convey culture and instead does nothing but rip off people's minds with tabloid programs and free of shame. "His is a real race against and perhaps also add the wrong direction.
