Consuelo Alfieri
The show 2023 takes its name from the recently released single and album "Porte a punente" and is inspired by the richness of Salento folk music and dance, revisited and re-proposed thanks to unreleased songs capable of engaging the audience with their cathartic and liberating energy. And by skillfully mixing traditional and contemporary dance elements that allow Consuelo Alfieri and her band to recover the primal propulsive force of the work, love and struggle songs of peasant culture, giving the audience a moment of authentic beauty and deep sharing. The band consists of Consuelo Alfieri (accordion and vocals), Giuseppe Astore (violin and vocals), Sergio Pizza (frame drums), Giacomo Contaldo (guitar), Carlo Massarelli (woodwinds), Serena Pellegrino (dance).

In his collaborations in addition to flanking Rachid Taha for over 20 years, he has worked with: Patti Smith, Mick Jones (The Clash), Brian Eno, Tricky and countless other internationally renowned musicians. The evening will be concluded by Ronda Elettrica a new "format by" Mascarimiri where the concept of the "traditional ronda" is married with the group's electronic beats in a Pizzica Pizzica that has no time, only emotions to dance to.
