Creating a live set that goes beyond musical genres and embraces different styles and eras. The result of the didactic path in recent months and the creativity of the children led by tutors Manuela Renno (choir) and Annibale Guarino (winds).
In the lineup songs of the Neapolitan tradition and jazz standards, contemporary compositions and rock or funk songs. They range from “Yes I know My Way” by Pino Daniele to “Freddie Freeloader” by Miles Davis, passing through the contamination of a tammurriata that blends “La Rumba Degli Scugnizzi” by the Nuova Compagnia Di Canto Popolare with “Last Train Home” by Pat Metheny. “Zitti e Buoni” by Maneskin meets “Smoke on the Water” by Deep Purple, the classic Carosonian, “Tu Vu F L’Americano” merges with “Mr. Saxobeat ”by Alexandra Stan and“ Soul Bossa Nova ”by Quincy Jones. “Vesuvio” by Zezi meets “Watermelon Man” by Herbie Hancock and “So What” again by Miles.
