Gaber’s anthem for Nelson Mandela Forum

See and hear the artist's performance in company of Giobbe Covatta and the children of Tanzania

A song by Giorgio Gaber is the anthem which has been chosen by the Mandela Forum Sports Hall of Florence to open every musical and sporting event from now on …

A film projected on wide-screens will show the images edited by Giorgio Gaber and by Giobbe Covatta with a class of children from Tanzania, who take turns to sing “Liberty”, a song from 1972.

The debut of the Florentine establishment’s official anthem took place at Jovanotti’s second concert during his 2005 tour. The three wide-screens, which are set up in the center of the sports hall, are placed 10 meters high and are turned towards the tier of seats to allow for proper viewing of the sporting competitions.
