Jazz mixes with Indian sitars. And from the South come the tarantellas

The sounds of jazz mixed with those of traditional Indian music . Folk , popular ballads and the typical rhythms of southern Italy, including pizzica and tarantella . These are the two concerts that will liven up the OppArt theatre cultural centre in Sovico this weekend. The curtain on the stage in via Giovanni da Sovico will rise on Friday at 9pm with the performance of Ashrah Jazz Th3 entitled “Indian jazz concert”: the group composed of Ashanka Sen on the sitar, Maurizio Signorino on the soprano sax and Danilo Sala on the drums will offer a particular sound journey, in which jazz melodies meet suggestions from India. This trio will contaminate the improvisational freedom of jazz with the deep and hypnotic atmospheres that characterise Indian music. You will be able to listen to completely revisited jazz standards and some original pieces, in which the sitar will dialogue in free phrases with the sax, while the drums will create bridges between swing, Indian tala and contemporary groove, moving between New York and Varanasi, cool jazz and the ragas of northern India. On Saturday, again at 9 pm, the genre and atmosphere will change with the concert of the Ensemble Music Art Folk . It will be an opportunity to immerse yourself in traditional music and popular music ballads, led by a group that will field accordions, diatonic accordions, percussion, a cello and a voice. Ballads, pizzicas, tarantellas and quadrilles. There will also be forays into Neapolitan song. Info 039.900.84.48, reservations at [email protected]. FL
