Edina Balczó has continued the De Fuego project and with a new guitarist, Marc Rodriguez Alvarez from Spain, has produced the second album by De Fuego, called Davide (released in 2015).
The Alejandro Toledo and The Magic Tombolinos band, in which Davide was a member, shares in download the new album and asks to support research donating to the British association Myeloma UK.
Unfortunately we have not the powers to go back in time, we wish we could! What we can certainly do is to leave here a message, a thought, a nice memory of a moment lived with Davide. Something that connect us to him and we do not want to loose or simply something we want to share.
Once Davide wrote, quoting a British author:
“Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.”
So, as long as there will be someone or something able to help us remember his smile and funny laugh, Davide will not have left and will always be with us.
Here, if you want, you can leave your message.
La notte sul lago di Lugano molte ore prima di rientrare in tenda a cantare Jeremy spoke in class today... Suonavamo e cantavamo come se l'avessimo scritta noi, al solo scopo di salvare il mondo e tutti i suoi abitanti o forse solo per essere felici ed emozionarsi noi, lì, in quel preciso momento di questa storia strana.

My Conde, you are a true inspiration, my long lost brother from a different mother. I think of you very often and smile, I know you are close.

I only had stage invasion when I played with you. Whenever you saw that the people started to get into the music you just led them to the stage to jump there. The best moments of a live performance.

We called "Conde" because you always wore black, had a way of making everything around you seem elegant and graceful...
Alejandro Toledo
Complici nell'inventare quell'espediente grazie al quale la riservata e generosa Alessandra ha potuto realizzare un piccolo sogno: cantare in un pub inglese. E per ben due volte. Grazie Davide!
