Tutto Il Mondo è Paese

TUTTO IL MONDO è PAESE (a traduction of this Italian way of saying could be IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES THERE ARE SIMILAR STORIES) After our travel through Mediterranean's view in the cd's Medinsud and Malmediterraneo, featuring Mediterranean artists, this project is a wider glance and now we search for suggestions from the North too.
In this concert - that's unusual for us - the most of the songs will be traditional or ancient songs from several Countries that we arranged with our sound.
We are interested in the communication among culrtures: in the similar musical forms, in the similar musical instruments, we would like that cultures would harmonize in politics and in the life of every day too.
Ireland and Celtic dances look like Italian "saltarello" and Southern "tarantella". Some swedish popular songs are sung with a vocal technique similar to the Italian "canto a distesa". Portuguese guitar, used for accompanyment to the voice in the "fado" has an orihìgin in England, as instrument for playing a different kind of music.
Beyond the North of Europe, our travel will touch Mediterranean Countries, will cross the Atlantic Ocean until Latin America, Cuba, Brasil and Capoverde. We will play the songs of these Countries inserting neapolitan lyrics in add to the original one, like in Sodade. the song that Cesaria Evora made famous all over the world, in which we sing part of the song in neapolitan dialect, a very good language for the theme of this song: the love for your country and the sad feeling when you are far from home.
We think there are many stories that are similar in different Countries of the world, and we want to tell these stories.
