I think my repertoire can
be best described as a wide, multi-faceted overview of the Italian
music tradition. The Italian music is rich and ranges over many
genres as well as regional variations. It has a clear Mediterranean
character, with tonalities and melodies that many people describe
as 'sunny'. My playlist includes, among others, jazz and swing
hits from the 40s and the 50s, suggestive ballads and witty
tunes by modern artists, together with a whole range of classic
Neapolitan songs and folk music from various regions in Italy.
The resulting diversity is due to the different backgrounds
of the selected songs and to my personal arrangement and playful
improvisation. My aim is bringing out the special character
of the music, while enriching it with influences from different
styles and countries. Bossa nova and tango flavours, together
with a Middle-East sound, are combined with the Southern Italian
folk dance 'tarantella'.
