Placebo and the carnival of Mamoiada that captures their heart

The Placebos also land in Italy. This time it is Sardinia that appears in one of the most clicked videos on the web in the song "Jesus son", the single released in August chosen as the spearhead of the album. You can see in all its facets a dreamlike perspective that has as its background the enchanting Sardinian scenery and the energy of the special state region that has managed to preserve its identity.
It is therefore this first excerpt from the album "A place for us to dream" released on October 7 this year to kick off the tour that apparently will also touch the Italian peninsula in 2017.

placebo-jesus-son the song with the video portraying sardinia

The video opens with a strong Sardinian dialect and on the shore, next to the bonfires, the typical masks of the traditional carnival of Mamoiada appear, taking up the entire scene, shrouded in the mystery of the Mamuthones and Issohadore whose origins are still obscure today.
Dionysian rites during the solstices, venerations to the totem or victories of the inhabitants of Barbagia against their rivals. The fact is that the Sardinians have maintained the use of their ancestors who still experience the carnival of Mamoiada as a form of religious procession, dancing and involving the participants. This is what struck Placebo positively and it is what makes the context mysterious, typical of the English rock band that has found in this custom a stimulus for their new song, being themselves enveloped by an aura of mystery and therefore recognizing in the style of Sardinia the theater suitable for their inspiration.

 

Placebo, world famous artists

In short, the Placebos with their international fame have exported an important excerpt of Sardinian history. One of the most popular videos on the web for the location that did not go unnoticed at all, adding a completely magical touch to the panorama of Oristano.
Yes, the beaches of Scivu and San Salvatore, dream locations that have always been a destination for abundant tourism, hosted the British band that was able to portray not only the splendid landscape but also the traditions of the land. Thanks also, probably also to a high percentage of Sardinians who have worked hard for the success of the single, knowing how to capture the most fascinating sides of one of the most beautiful regions of Italy with filming and photographs.
