The España Circo Este present a real and original caravan circus-music in a unique and original sound from their own “branded” Tango-Punk.

How can one narrate a tragedy of such dimensions? Music and poetry, in a criss-cross of sounds and words, give voice to what has been and is difficult to express. Thoughts, prayers, illusions, desires, emotions, fears, humanity and the horrors of the Great War: a unique and relentless evening that overwhelms humanity, told in verse and the written words of the poets who themselves lived directly through the great tragedy, with music ranging from the great classics to local folk song.

A very personal and original musical journey is conducted by two musicians of ecceptional talent: Maristella Patuzzi on violin, Floraleda Sacchi on the harp. The two present a tango of an intimate and unusual poetic character – in which malincony, hope and sensuality go harmoniously hand in hand. The compositions, by Astor Piazzola, are presented to us, in an original and creative arrangement by the two musicians, between tradition and innovation, classical and jazz, improvisation and world music.

n ensemble that came together in the Mediterranean Basin and whose music has touched worldwide. Their sounds born from an interest in Africa and one that wants to speak to the world, the group has a mysterious formation. It’s not easy to say where C’mon Tigre comes from, the group changes shape, voices and sounds at every appearance, an open construction site that produces hynoptic acoustics, middleeastern dance.
By their own admission, C’mon Tiger make music based on repetitive riffs and minimal approach, with, however, maximalist and cosmopolitan attitude, between guitars, analog drum machines, accordions and brass section that, they promise, “fanno ballare i serpenti“.
It’s not jazz nor is it world music, it’s not space rock but: the roar of many souls – “C’mon Tigre is a collective of Souls” –, worldly, harmonized, unique.
