Iberico, whose real name is Ferdinando Ritrovato, comes from Calabria but now lives in Milan. He was born in 1989 and has loved music all his life. He started singing 883 songs as a child and tried different kinds of music even while he was at university. After winning a poetry contest in early 2024, Iberico decided to really start his music career on his own. His first song, “Gaza,” came out in December 2024. It showed sad pictures of children during war. After this, his first album, “Non fare rumore,” was released.
This album has eight true stories from life. In May, he put out “Aquile,” a song for his favorite football team. Iberico’s album gently leads us through many parts of being human and our feelings. Each song tells a story or shares a message in its own special way. This lets us see the world with new eyes. The songs touch on things we all go through, like hard times, how we connect with other people, and how society works. The album starts by looking at the struggles inside a person’s mind.
In “Vigliaccamente,” we are shown a mind that starts to break because of deep hurt. It makes clear how holding onto anger can change someone, making them see things the wrong way. The music likely gets stronger as the person’s thoughts become more troubled. The singing would show this struggle, going from calm to very upset. This song makes us remember that when people’s minds are not well, sad things can happen. These sad things can affect not just the person, but also innocent people around them. It shows how strong our inner thoughts can be, sometimes leading to unhappy endings.
Moving from thoughts inside our heads to being alone outside, “Lo Scacciacorvi” tells the sad story of someone who is left by everyone. It paints a picture of being judged and pushed away, even when the person has done nothing wrong. The simple music probably feels quiet and a bit lonely. This lets the story be heard clearly. The singing sound is soft but full of sadness, showing someone who takes their hard life without fighting back. This song helps us think about how we treat others who are different or have faced hard times. It gently tells us that real kindness might be found in places we don’t expect, like nature, even when people are not kind.
However, the album also has parts about strong connections. “Effetto Morgana” is a song about a very strong love and staying together, no matter what happens. It makes you feel warm and safe, like someone is always there for you. The music probably sounds full and caring, building up to show how strong this bond is. The singing would feel soft and comforting, like a promise being made. This song reminds us that love can be a strong power. It can help us get through scary times and feel less alone. It celebrates how two people can become so close they feel like one, finding peace and strength just by being together.
From personal connections, the album then moves to how people fit into bigger groups. “Louis” looks closely at how people live when society has strict rules. It explores the feeling of having private wishes that don’t fit what others want. The song likely uses a calm and thinking sound. This lets the deep questions it asks sink in. The singing is serious and clear, sharing thoughts about being true to yourself. This song makes us think about judging others and how we sometimes make people hide who they really are. It kindly tells us that only a higher power can truly know and judge our paths, not just what society thinks is right.
Lastly, the album bravely talks about big world problems, bringing a strong message of what people share.The song “Gaza” talks about how much war hurts, especially kids. It tells us about children losing their homes and families. Their stories are filled with fear and not knowing what comes next. The music in this song is very serious and sad, making you feel the heavy burden of fighting. The singing is full of questions and sadness, like a child asking why bad things happen. This song is a strong message for everyone to understand. It shows that suffering feels the same for all people, no matter where they live. It asks us to remember that all people want to be safe and have a normal life, urging us to feel for those caught in war.
Iberico’s “Non fare rumore” is an album that truly explores what it means to be a person through simple yet strong stories. Each song on this album makes you think about life. They talk about your own feelings and big ideas like love, being nice, and belonging. These songs give you a taste of the album, but there’s a lot more. The rest of “Non fare rumore” has more good stories and sounds for you to find when you listen.
