FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
In collaboration with
KAMMAMURI NITE Istituto Italiano di Cultura - Dublino
“Italy’s greatest secret” - The Sunday Times
“Italy’s most intriguing musical traveller” – Mojo
“A visionary songwriter... he spins enigmatic fantasies of both skid row Americana and mythological Italy in a grittily elegant cabaret-jazz style.” - The New York Times
A larger-than-life character on the Italian music scene, Vinicio Capossela (born in Hannover, Germany, 1965) boasts an extraordinary career dating back to 1990. Capossela's world evolved from American underground culture and the ‘road myth’ - namely Jack Kerouac, Charles Bukowski and Tom Waits - as well as the Italian exoticism embodied by the legendary Luis Prima in the US, or Renato Carosone in Italy. The rebetiko music comes from a catastrophe, from a major crisis and from a massive migration and it has always had a subversive content.
The rebetiko music talks about what we lost, it’s a music that does not forget its origins. It is played indoors, where you can drink and think about your personal pains. It's a kind of music that is shared at the table, like an “eucarestia”.
Vinicio Capossela will be with the great Rebetiko musicians: Vassilis Massalas on guitar and baglama, Ntino Chatziiordanou on Farfisa organ and accordion, Dimitri Emmanouil on percussion, bouzouki player Manolis Pappos. Completing the organic: Ace Alessandro Stefana (guitar) Glauco Zuppiroli (bass).
