Riccardo Tesi & Giua (Italy), Leichhardt Bowlo. Thur 2 April
About
A concert featuring Riccardo Tesi, one of the most innovative diatonic accordionists recognised internationally, and the songwriting and popular music of Giua, a singer-songwriter and guitarist highly appreciated on the Italian cultural and theatre scene.Tesi is best known as the leader of Banditaliana , one of the most renowned Italian groups on the international world music scene. He has played in the most important jazz & folk festivals all over Europe, Australia, Canada and Japan.
They have known each other and been friends for over twenty years, and have often collaborated on each other's records and written songs together.
Now they are finally presenting their duo concert, "Retablos", a journey through songwriting, folk songs and instrumental music.in which they merge their artistic paths, which are different but also very similar.
The title of the show is inspired by one of the major expressions of Peruvian art, the Retablos, small portable wooden boxes that in ancient times contained figures of saints and today also reproduce scenes from everyday life. Magic boxes then, windows that open and tell a story, that make you travel to distant worlds, just like music.
