On the occasion of the twelfth edition of the Castelfranco Veneto Jazz Festival, the Teatro Accademico di Castelfranco Veneto hosts Maria Pia De Vito and her project "Buarqueana," where she focuses on her appropriation of the Brazilian repertoire, concentrating on the songs of Chico Buarque de Hollanda, for which she personally took part in translating the lyrics from Portuguese to the Neapolitan dialect.
We are faced with one of De Vito's most heartfelt projects, as well as one of the most clearly transcultural. The Neapolitan language proves to be a formidable musical, lyrical, and rhythmic instrument at the same time. In this metamorphic vision, the dances from Campania intersect with those from Brazil, samba and tammurriata.
A multiple award-winner at Top Jazz, De Vito is a well-rounded artist: composer and arranger as well as performer, she is an tireless explorer of the language and musical styles connected to improvisation. Her interests range from jazz to more experimental music, from classical tradition to Neapolitan folk song: a voice and an artistic personality that are decidedly free and extraordinarily modern.
In Castelfranco, she will be accompanied on piano by Huw Warren, guitarist Roberto Taufic, and drummer and percussionist Roberto Rossi.
Don't miss it!
