Percussionist

More than twenty-five years after its release, Enzo Favata returns with one of the most iconic projects of his career, "Atlantico," a 1999 album that marked a turning point for Italian world music, intertwining jazz, South American sounds, poetry, and sonic narrative. Initially conceived as a literary homage to the great South American writers, "Atlantico" has over time become a musical journey spanning Italy, Europe, and South America, with over 400 concerts worldwide. This is a long-awaited and hoped-for reunion for the Quintet—comprised of Favata, Daniele Di Bonaventura, Marcello Peghin, Salvatore Maltana, and UT Gandhi—who celebrates a work packed with emotional landscapes, evocative rhythms, and musical stories at the Roma Jazz Festival, in which Sardinia and South America merge in a sonic embrace.

Enzo Favata – “Atlantico Reunion”

Auditorium Parco della Musica

In December 2012, I was asked to perform a concert for the city of Sassari during the Christmas season. The original idea was to supplement the usual repertoire with some Christmas-related pieces, but the idea of ​​performing an entire concert on this theme immediately gained traction.
For some years, in fact, my groups and I had enjoyed playing Christmas songs during the Advent season.
