The spark was the longstanding friendship with Pasquale Pes, owner Olimpia Club of Malindi and the White Star Kilifi with the beautiful houseboat.
Last year the great Roman singer Antonello Venditti was persuaded by him to take a holiday in Malindi, but was housed in Mambrui and every evening the trip weighed a bit '. Especially because she loves to dine at Olimpia, including oysters and prawns and the presence of good associates.
Meanwhile met again a colleague with whom happily has strengthened the relationship, the elderly but still gambissima songwriter Gino Paoli, who has for years home to the Blue Key on the Silversand beach.
Here then is that this year Venditti decided to return and, with the complicity of Pes, to stay in Malindi.
"I had a great time - confessed the author of" Roma Capoccia "and other beautiful pop ballads - the weather is amazing, the location is fantastic, next year I have decided to stop at least a month."
It's rumored that the Capitoline singer has already requested information on a villa to rent and, who knows, could be added to the ranks of those who then bought the house, now that the coast of Kenya is back in fashion.
Meanwhile Malindi has a new famous music sponsors, as in the past success with Sugar, Raf, Roberto Vecchioni and precisely Paoli.
