Calcutta
When Calcutta's debut album, Mainstream was released in 2015 via Bomba Dischi, the magnitude of its success took everyone by surprise. The first singles, Frosinone, Cosa mi manchi a fare_ and Gaetano told tales of longing, love and loneliness in a small world, the Roman neigbourhood where Edoardo D'Erme, aka Calcutta, was living at the time. Mainstream was a massive hit: Calcutta's infallible ear for a good tune and killer pop sensibilities, coupled with his lyrics, by turn harrowing and surreal, fully captured the mood of a generation. Suddenly, concert venues were filled with people singing their hearts out. Categories like “indie” and “pop” were rendered meaningless. Calcutta was everywhere and everything at the same time. Oroscopo, released in May 2016, made gold and was one of the biggest hits of the summer. Orgasmo, the first single off his sophomore album, was released at the end of 2017 and was an immediate hit with over 10 million streams on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music and Deezer. It rose to no. 5 of the Spotify chart and made the top 50 on EarOne's Airplay Chart. The beginning of February 2018 saw the release of Pesto, and by the time Evergreen was finally out, expectation was at an all-time high. The album was preceded by Paracetamolo, psychedelic pop at its best, an ode to the buzz of newborn love punctuated with an infectious guitar riff and propelled into infinity by the joyful shout of the chorus. The summer of 2018 marked a turning point in Calcutta's live performances, with 30.000 people turning up to see him at Stadio Francioni, in his native Latina (about one hour south of Rome), on July 21st. On August 6th, he performed to a sold out Arena di Verona: the performance was turned into a concert film titled Calcutta – Tutti in piedi, shot and directed by Giorgio Testi, which showed in over 150 theatres all over Italy. After a short winter tour, Calcutta and his musicians have embarked on the summer leg of the Evergreen tour, which is setting hearts ablaze all over Italy.
