The great interpreters of Sardinian music and singing join the rhythms of the Celtic tradition, the refined harmonies of jazz and classical music in a show that starts from our island to meet sensitivities and cultures of the world. This is Musas e Terras, scheduled for December 28th at 8.00 pm, at the Auditorium of the Cagliari Conservatory.
The 2023 edition, entitled "In su tempus chi mudat", in the time that is renewed, aims to retrace the evolutions that have marked the musical and poetic tradition of Sardinia in its many forms, and to propose new ideas and new possibilities for growth.
The program is rich and full of suggestions
Cogar, an Irish group attentive interpreter of the Celtic tradition, joins Ballade Ballade Bois by Carlo Boeddu to celebrate with new suggestions the musical meeting of two islands deeply linked to their roots.
Traditional dances are at the center of the jazz-style reinterpretations of the New Ensemble, a septet of pianist Paolo Carrus, and of the trio composed of Arricardu Pittau's trumpet, Ignazio Cadeddu's guitar and Massimiliano Toro's percussion.
The historical score of the famous composer Lao Silesu, transposition for piano of the dance for launeddas, will be presented to the vast public for the first time by the Sardinian concert performer Fabrizio Marchionni.
The cantu a tenore is present in two versions: the ancient barbaric version of the Tenor Picottu from Nuoro, and the other more innovative and enriched by the contamination of the tenor Milia from Orosei, who joins the wind instruments of Zoe Pia to give life to the Indìndara project.
The archaic polyvocal forms of the cantu a batoro have the intense colors of the Cuncordu Sas Enas, from Bortigali.
Emanuele Bazzoni and Franco Figos, two of the greatest interpreters of Cantu in re , perform alongside the arpeggiated guitar of Pietro Nieddu, retracing the Logudoro melismas in the delicate and poetic form that reminds us of the style of the origins.
Finally, a formation capable of reinterpreting the traditional sonada a iscala in an innovative way through the creative flair of the accordion and guitar of Bruno and Asael Camedda and the launeddas of Roberto Corona and Gianfranco Maxia.
All proceeds from ticket sales will go to charity at the Pawaga mission in Tanzania, directed by Father Carlo Rotondo.
