PLAYING AT FOLKEST - ALBERTO CESA AWARD
COMPETING BANDS
Simona Colonna, a multifaceted musician and composer, after diplomas in transverse flute and cello, has embarked on a brilliant artistic career that has led her to share music as a performer and interpreter of the classical repertoire, both in orchestral settings and as a soloist, but especially as a composer and author in the world of pop, singer-songwriter and jazz music. In her repertoires and record works there is an original melange between contemporary harmonies and classical melodies, through the nuances of folk and jazz music.
She works with prestigious Italian and foreign orchestras and music ensembles, and has been featured in intensive tours in Europe, China and Canada.
He has jazz concerts to his credit with musicians such as Enrico Rava, Stefano Bollani, Roberto Gatto, Marco Brioschi, Enzo Favata, Daniele Di Bonaventura, Javier Girotto, Danilo Rea, Stefano Cantini, Riccardo Fioravanti, Alberto Mandarini, Miles Foxx Hill, Miles Blak, Bob Murphy, Buff Allan, and Ian Putz.
The LabPerm Figurelle was born from the meeting between the theater company Actor's Art Research LabPerm directed by Domenico Castaldo, active in Turin since 1997and the musicians of the Rustic Red Bitter Trio, active since 1992. The result is a highly original blend made of musicality that is popular again, because it is imbued with theatricality, humanity and poetry.
The band relies on the presence of musicians (guitars, accordion, bass drum), a women's choir with its small and curious musical instruments, and a lead vocalist among a variety of percussion instruments. LabPerm Figurelle with his concert-show “Figurelle. Stories, Songs, Apparitions.” for the past two years has toured Italy and recorded his first record.
I FolkaMiseria possess a personal idea in the research and composition of their songs. The group offers an ideal journey into the sounds of folk music in a mix of traditional and rock that distinguishes their sound.
Folkamiseria travel on the edge of contamination by combining folk sounds from traditional instruments and repertoires, such as Irish, Piedmontese, French, and kletzmer, with modern and contaminated sounds of drums, bass, and electric guitar. This allows the group to range and sharpen their music toward a ’more modern alchemy, which is reflected in both original compositions and songs from the tradition.{:}
