At the launch event today, which have been around the Councillor for Culture, Rosario Montero, and the head of Mediterranean Culture House, Lourdes Rubio, the first stressed the desire of both institutions to continue in the future with this agreement collaboration that began last year and we benefit both because it uses the festival's artistic platform to strengthen ties between the peoples of the Mediterranean.
GirodiBanda are about 25 musicians accompanied by stilt walkers, jugglers and fire eaters, they will take from 20.00 hours the streets Carmen, Murcia Mayor doors in a unique show recreated in an almost circus Fellinian scenery, an explosion energy drag and involving the public loves a cheerful atmosphere and poetic. The parade will end at 20.30 hours at the Town Hall Square, which will begin the concert itself, unique in Spain, completing a two-hour show.
With this show, and taking advantage of La Mar de Músicas content focuses this year in Italy, Mediterranean House aims to inform the public of this event the value of contemporary and traditional art of street gangs in southern Italy, coinciding with its aim of bringing Spanish citizenship to the tradition and the vanguard of the Mediterranean countries to strengthen ties of friendship and trust in the region.
And, GirodiBanda success lies in the use of a musical recipe in which the classical music repertoire of bands merge with the voices of the popular oral tradition and the influence of the sounds of the Balkans.
The architect of this unpredictable and surprising musical fabric is the master Cesare Dell'Anna, eclectic musician and composer originally from the Salento region.
Under the movement of his hands of skilled trumpeter and artistic director of the band, the ancient musical traditions are fused and transformed through jazz in a unique spectacle.
In GirodiBanda have a great orchestra played by a band of Tour of Puglia, a band formed by the group balkan / jazz Opa Cupa and a maze of very distinctive voices of the oral tradition salentina: Enza Pagliara Claudio Cavallo, Irene Longo and Emanuele Licci .
The members that make up the orchestra are a fine selection of the best and most authentic music of the picture of Salento street gangs, creating a show purely Mediterranean, live sound and flooded southern Italy with Balkan influences.
GirodiBanda music that speaks of the gift becomes more honest, because their origin and starting point is the dialogue between principles and values.
The Adriatic Sea joins the Mediterranean and the region of Salento lives very close to the reality of the Albanian culture, but also from Montenegro and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Cesare Dell ¿Anna approaches the viewer to the musical heritage at its best, as an articulation of the sounds on both sides of mare nostrum.
