Italian Traditional Music: Now!
An open rehearsal and conversation with Francesco Turrisi and the group Zahr
In English
A pre-concert event to give you a taste of the performance taking place on 7th June with Zahr, the ensemble created by pianist and accordionist Francesco Turrisi and percussionist Andrea Piccioni. Focusing primarily on the influence that Arabic music has had in many countries touched by the Mediterranean Sea, the ensemble tries to combine Italian traditional music, jazz improvisation, Mediterranean music and early music. This performance features also Francesco Loccisano, a true virtuoso and innovator of the “chitarra battente”, an ancient metal strung guitar traditional to southern Italian regions.
