FRIDAY 5 JULY

DAVIDE AMBROGIO, EVOCATIONS AND INVOCATIONS - RITUAL SONGS OF ASPROMONTE. Davide Ambrogio masterfully captures the vast tapestry of Mediterranean culture, which extends from Albania to Greece, from Italy to the Arab world. Raised in a small town in the Aspromonte, a mountainous area in the extreme south-west of Italy, in Calabria, David was surrounded by ancient religious rites and devotional songs still very alive. Attached to his Calabrian roots, he drew on the region’s oral traditions to create his own distinctive musical language.
In live, the Calabrian artist builds around the voice an immersive show through the use of lyre, guitar with pencils, frame drum, zumpettana, zampogna and live electronics. In the research of timbre, melodic and rhythmic, the show tells an intimate and current truth, able to evoke different suggestions.
- 10 p.m. at Scotto Garden

SATURDAY 6 JULY - from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Jazz Lab in Via Bovio
VOICES LISTENING. Singing workshop with Davide Ambrogio
The aim of Voci In Ascolto is to deepen the instrument-voice through songs from the repertoire of oral tradition of different parts of Italy. In live meetings the study of these polyphonies gives the opportunity to know and learn new aesthetic and interpretative elements, so you can enrich your musical vocabulary in technical and artistic terms.
The melodic, timbral, harmonic and rhythmic aspects of the songs are analyzed through an oral approach focused mainly on play, imitation, improvisation and the development of memory related to sound and words without the help of lyrics and scores.
Initiative in collaboration with Ass. Studentesca Ritmi Meridiani
Self-managed activity carried out with the financial contribution of the University of Pisa. Free admission by reservation.
THURSDAY 18 JULY - at 21.30 at Scotto Garden
