MADE IN ITALY!
Moreno Il Biondo, the stage name of Moreno Conficconi, is a prominent figure in the world of liscio, a traditional Italian musical genre from the Romagna region. Through his career and innovative vision, Moreno has made a significant contribution to revitalizing liscio, keeping this tradition alive and making it accessible to contemporary audiences.
His project "Romagna 2.0" with E-Wired Empathy is a clear example of how he is modernizing the genre. It blends respect for traditional roots with modern musical elements, creating a fusion of liscio and contemporary influences, making the genre relevant to younger generations. Collaborations with artists from various backgrounds, such as Stefania Morciano and international musicians like David Rhodes, demonstrate his intent to innovate while maintaining a strong connection to tradition.
Through events like Cara Forlì and collaborations that mix different musical styles, Moreno Il Biondo has made liscio an important part of the contemporary Italian musical scene. His ability to keep the essence of the genre alive, while opening it up to new sonic influences, makes him a key figure in the revival of this music, which continues to resonate strongly and passionately in the hearts of Italians.
Moreno Il Biondo's musical project bridges the diverse musical landscapes of Northern and Southern Italy, blending traditional sounds, rhythms, and styles from these regions into a single, cohesive experience. Northern Italian music, often characterized by liscio—a style of dance music popular in Emilia-Romagna—meets the passionate, rhythmic folk sounds of the South, such as the pizzica and taranta from Puglia.
Moreno brings together musicians from both regions and beyond, such as guitarist Luca Nobis, bassist Valerio Combass, and drummer Roberto Gualdi, creating an ensemble that celebrates Italian cultural diversity. The project includes innovative electronic elements and collaborations with Southern Italian artists like Stefania Morciano and Giulio Bianco from Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino, allowing traditional music to resonate in new and contemporary ways.
By exploring common themes like love, community, and festivity, this project invites audiences to experience Italy's regional richness as a unified cultural journey.
