Antonello Salis & Simone Zanchini “Liberi”

Zanchini and Salis return, together, after many years of absence from national and European stages. The funambulist duo par excellence has found itself again. The result? The perfect sound storm. You will hardly ever find two concerts by Zanchini and Salis the same, repetitive, monotonous. The constant search for joy and experimentation today as now makes for a unique musical picture.

Antonello Salis began playing the accordion at the age of seven, and later took up the piano studying as a self-taught musician. In the 1970s, he played in various rock groups playing the Hammond organ. Since 1978 he has been playing piano solo and accordion in Italy and abroad as a guest at major jazz festivals. His forty-year musical career is studded with excellent collaborations.

Simone Zanchini is among the most interesting and innovative accordionists on the international scene. His research moves between the boundaries of contemporary music, acoustic and electronic, sound experimentation, extra-cult contaminations without forgetting tradition, resulting in a very personal approach to improvisation.

OPENING
Three musicians with different stories come together in a musical project created with the intention of bringing the audience into a dreamlike environment where everyone can freely lose themselves and freely rediscover themselves. This style unites Gabriella Di Capua on vocals, Alessio Busanca on keyboards and musical elaborations, and Salvatore Rainone on drums and drum machine. The songs come from a hip hop-based wave, which they like to call trip-hop, but also from chill and new jazz.
