La Banda di Piazza Caricamento

Babelsound
La Banda di Piazza Caricamento
17 musicians from 5 continents
music director Davide Ferrari

Genoa multiethnic city of La Banda di Piazza Caricamento, artistic symbol of coexistence and non-violence, of creativity and cultural metamorphosis. Musicians with origins and backgrounds from 5 continents are spokesmen for integration and represent the tradition of their countries. Cuban rhythms of the congas, African rhythms of the darabouka and the djembee, rap voices of the metropolis, vocal melodies of Eastern Europe, Brazil, India and Italy, the magic arpeggios of the of the Kora, the African harp. All these and many other instruments and voices merge, creating a new pressing dynamic sought after sound.

"Meetings among life stories becoming music, a music that can change one's life.A meeting of worlds that creates a brand-new world, a sonorous spot of sharing where origins' recalls blend with the sound that articulate the urban and technological present. Babelsound is the dawning music, a mutating music that cannot be self-compared. Like in secular traditions it evolves with improvisation, it's not written, it moves like a vagrant without a fixed musical home, mixing rhythms and melodies from the east and the west, from north to south.To discover and rearrange the creations of this meeting among these so far and so close musicians, it is a creative opportunity that gives unforeseeable outcomes, enriched by the fresh energy of who steps in this unknown musical flow. Delicate and blustering, for body-dance and dance of feelings, Babelsound' music is the soundtrack of multiethnic cities and the sound of chaos in balance." (Davide Ferrari)
