For the first time in a decade, ANOHNI presents a series of concerts with the Johnsons and, responding to a time of upheaval, issues a challenge: It’s Time to Feel What’s Really Happening. Since the foundation of the band, in 1998 ANOHNI ha established a unique path as an artist with a focus on animist and eco-feminist themes: her musical journey has spanned genres – from electronic experimental to avant-classical, dance, and soul. After breakthrough success, ANOHNI achieved a nomination for an Academy Award (best song) for the environmentalist elegy Manta Ray. The artist reaches for courage, resilience, and ceremony in the face of an unprecedented contemporary landscape, and emphasizes: «for me, there’s no heavenly respite; Creation is a spectral and feminine continuum, and we remain an inalienable part of Nature».

The state of the art of Tex-Mex music in the last three decades: this is Calexico, the duo formed by Joey Burns and John Convertino, who in the mid-nineties, already much more than just the rhythm section of Giant Sand, embarked on an instrumental rock adventure that was to reshape the mental physiognomy of Arizona, infecting listeners and encouraging disciples worldwide.
Don Antonio Gramentieri, the most international of the contemporary musicians from Romagna, has drunk from the fountain of their sonic wisdom, a place of imagination where languid melodies of eternal dusk unfold over boundless landscapes, hand in hand with a guitar that lulls and cradles, speaking a language that needs no codes.

Of all the experimental jazz singers in Italy today, John De Leo is one of the most interesting: with his malleable voice, his unclassifiable style and his taste for musical adventure, he has created the Jazzabilly Quartet, a project he has had in mind for years, in which rock ’n’ roll and jazz are mixed in a bewildering and entertaining way. Presley and Coltrane, the Stray Cats and jazz standards are juxtaposed and transformed by De Leo with unbridled gusto as he explores possible connections between seemingly incompatible repertoires, always in a playful spirit in which voice and instruments perform bewildering somersaults and jump between styles with consistency and curiosity. Regularly supported by his no less brilliant trio, De Leo is joined on this occasion by two truly exceptional guests: Rita Marcotulli, an incomparable improviser whose sound is unique and inspired, and and the imaginative, trustworthy yet unpredictable trombonist Gianluca Petrella.
