$Luca Ciarla - Mediterram\u00eca$

Italian violinist and singer Luca Ciarla draws a musical pathway from the Mediterranean to all the way to Dunedin with just a violin, a loop pedal, his voice and a few toy instruments. Playing the violin also like a guitar, a cello or a percussion, the program Mediterramìa will feature unusual arrangements of traditional Italian folk tunes, music from the Mediterranean area and original compositions.
“…a magical acoustic seduction where everybody can find familiar influences…from genuine folk to sophisticated jazz.” Il Fatto Quotidiano (Italy)
