Kunigunde Weissenegger (franzmagazine)Curiosities:

BUSK kommt ursprünglich vom spanischen Begriff buscar, das suchen heißt. Im Laufe der Jahre entwickelte sich der englische Ausdruck busker: Ein busker ist ein Straßenkünstler, auf der Suche nach Ruhm und Ehre. Dazu gehört auch der Straßenmusiker oder die Straßenmusikerin. Ihre Erkennungszeichen sind die Gitarre unter dem Arm und zumeist auch ein Hut, der zugleich als Spendentopf dient. 

La musica è fatta per unire: al di là di gruppi linguistici, culture, etnie e origini, Bolzano per 2 giorni diventa palcoscenico urbano per la musica di strada di qualità e la città si fa ancora più bella grazie a un’inedita colonna sonora. Ascoltare i musicisti dal vivo e da vicino, lasciare un contributo monetario se vi sono piaciuti, parlare con loro e conoscere storie, provenienze, emozioni. Un modo unico, insomma, per vivere la musica e la città!
