Rapper Henri Chardot spurs uniqueness with ‘Millennium Legend’

There are legends, like John Lennon or Elton John, and there are mere mortals who, however, are all unique pieces both when they are at the bottom and when they reach the top becoming architects of great turning points. We could thus summarize the meaning of the new single by the Milanese rapper Henri Chardot, ‘Millennium Legend’, which encourages uniqueness, to be able to distinguish oneself both through the words of the song, and by choosing to blend pop and dance music in the so-called Treep House, a movement with international roots to which he gave his own name Henri Chardot who became its spokesperson with the aim of giving space in Italy to something new. Written and sung by Henri Chardot, aka Riccardo Beretta, the piece is characterized by a simple radio structure, able to adapt to the typical sounds of club music, thanks to the presence of elements of the international deep house and slap house. A song, ‘Millennium Legend’, in which the rapper mentions some of the most influential musicians in modern history – such as John Lennon or Elton John – to convey the message that, in reality, “each of us can make a difference, even in causes we fight for “. A position in tune with what Henri Chardot, born in 2000, said today about the possibility of making even eighteen-year-olds vote for the Senate, which could become a reality with the fourth and final reading of Palazzo Madama on the relative constitutional reform. “In my opinion at the age of 18 you don’t have many clear ideas about the society around us, and I think it is early to vote for the Senate but, on the other hand, the reform can help raise awareness, encourage us to be more responsible and interested in current affairs. , to the general situation, beyond us “, underlined to the Adnkronos the young singer-songwriter who will turn 20 on 2 October. “I think there is a lot of immaturity among the very young who are really not up to date and a bit indifferent to the general context, especially when they don’t have a specific purpose – he observed – I’m lucky to have a purpose that I feel mine, music, and I try to help my peers to take an interest in what is around, not to live automatically, leaving out what one thinks belongs only to the world of adults “. Sooner or later, in fact, everyone becomes adults and, as Henri Chardot suggested on his Instagram profile, “the best way to anticipate the future is to try to create it.” This young rapper is not lacking in determination and also the name he has chosen itself, the stage name, is an indication of march and a photograph of what is a source of inspiration: “The name of Henri Chardot is inspired by the French painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, one of the most significant figures of art of the late nineteenth century. When I saw for the first time one of his exhibitions, his works and his characteristic signature, I was enlightened and I realized that this great artist could be my inspiration. From him I take the name ‘Henri’ – tells – Furthermore, this curious name, as much as it is ambitious, welcomes some mixes inspired abroad, inside it. ‘Hen’ (by Henri) is, in fact, a prefix of oriental origin, while ‘Ot’ (by Chardot) is a French suffix. Finally, within the full name, ‘Henri Chardot’, my real name is found in English, which is R’ichard. My name is Riccardo. Only with my name I have chosen to show the determination I have towards music, my project and the international ambition that the movement I am a spokesperson for, that is Treep House, brings with it. In short, Henri Chardot “is the expression of original music, sought after with international ambitions, without limits, or borders. (By Veronica Marino)
