It’s a jam session of dj that mix smells, sounds and flavors. An oath to the rite of eating and cooking. An unconventional dj set dedicated to those who love to take time to savor with ears and mouth. The success is in looking around dishes that are turning; Small and fragrant.
Youkus
Communal garden
Ukulele ensemble
The ukulele is not just a little guitar: for Youkus is the instrument with which to claim the otherwise great being. Ironic, pocket-sized, always ready to make music, Youkus is a virtuoso combo of the kaulele who, as tourists by chance, have emerged in the world of Italian pop with the only mission of playing with the songs and smacking the mania of us all . “Someone Like Little” is their first single, which opens the way to the same debut album released in June 2017 for the historic Flipper Music record company.
Claudio Perini: virtuoso of the kanulel and multi-instrumentalist, poet and writer, is the author of all Youkus songs, but remains humble. Obsessive and baritone, it’s the group’s good: to figure out the others.
Fabio Casale: chef, born cabaretist, polyphonic instrumentalist, rhythmic ukulelist. But above all singer, as he likes to be defined. The problem is to silence it.
Max Ranucci: As a bassist, he is often mocked by other band members. In reality with his trust Ukulele Basso is the only one to have the big one: It’s the heart of Youkus!

Oceans. The Music of the Sea
Multicultural Project that embraces the disciplines of Music, Literature and Ecology
“Oceans” is a musical project designed by Riccardo Ascani, a musician, composer and doctor in Natural Sciences. A project that wants to focus the music on a theme of great relevance and importance, which is the safeguard of the sea and the environment. The marine ecosystem is based on very delicate balances that in turn affect the health of the entire planet.
Oceans like rainforests are the main source of planet oxygen, the introduction by humans of toxic substances directly into the sea or through the rivers and the atmosphere, some types of apparently forbidden fishing, the wicked and unproductive withdrawals No control of the sea bottom of minerals and hydrocarbons, are just some of the negative aspects that characterize the bad relationship between humanity and the sea.
On the other hand, the music of “Oceans” tells us the sea idealized in the literature and in the soul of every man. The sea is a source of inspiration for illustrious writers from Homer to Baricco passing through Conrad, Lorca and Hemingway.
“Oceans” is therefore a multicultural project that embraces simultaneously the disciplines of music, ecology and literature.
“Oceans” is also a multistilistic and multimedia project, because the author has been able to blend flamenco contents with jazz and electronics in a unique, pleasing style that delivers the listener to unlimited territories and distant horizons.
The concert takes advantage of the projection of videos and images of the marine environment, of a reciting voice (short footsteps from works by Homer, Conrad, Lorca, Gibran, Hemingway and Baricco) as well as a brief conference on the preservation of the sealed sea By the same Master Riccardo Ascani, thus becoming a real show of very high cultural and interdisciplinary content (Music – Images – Ecology – Literature).
“Oceans” last album by Riccardo Ascani, Los Angeles (CA) Academy Award winner for ambient / instrumental music genre is played during the track track track
The first song “Cuentos de la sirena” tells us in the music of the sirens as we are described in the Odyssey, in the second track “Reflejos theme” the sweet melodies of the guitar and the arpeggios remind us of a short poem by Federico Garcia Lorca : “The Sea, Smiles From Away, Teeth Of Teeth … Lips Of Heaven”, The Third Song “Mar del Caribe” is inspired by Ernest Hemingway’s novel “The Old and the Sea” set in the Caribbean of Cuba The fourth song “Oceans” describes how one single ocean, the Panthalassa, has evolved, thanks to the drift of the continents the present, Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Ocean, the fifth “Mistral” song tells us about the Maestral the wind that the ancients Romans called “Magistralis” as Master and Despot of the Mediterranean, the sixth song “Last Whale” condemns the ruthless hunt for whales and Cetaceans in general, a hunt that has led some species such as Gray whale at high risch I’m extinction, the seventh song “Red Sea” describes us the Red Sea, the sea of the Old Testament, bridge between millennia cultures and today place of high risk for political and religious reasons. He concludes the album “The Odyssey’s Mind”, which wants to describe Ulysses’ nostalgia feeling in music, while still representing the kind explorer, the man thirsting for new knowledge and adventures, would like to return to his land, Ithaca and re-enact His beloved Penelope. The opening of the concert is then performed with a song titled “Atlantis” that through the guitar arpeggios and the melodies of the sax imagines the legendary submerged city told by Plato in the dialogues Timeo and Crizia in the 4th century BC

Los 3 Saltos
Via colle a frio
A modern, metropolitan pirate vessel lurks in the ingenious tarmac of the city of Rome, immersed in the surreal silence of its urban night. Two sirens sing a song on the bow deck, a bass accompanies, a string guitar on the strings, the bass dislodges its carpet, the percussion strikes and a grungy piano kicks on the melody … the chorus of the seven handpiece is rising more and more Strong as the boat grabs the townships of the townships and slides into the deepest suburbs, at the mercy of civilization. A romance sound “misticance” rises: cumbia, murga, power-folk meticcio, wild songwriter and south-european sonido.
Los3saltos as a wave that breaks over the granite cliffs of the Mediterranean or the tropical beaches of South America, overwhelms and overthrows, drags away everything that it encounters and breaks the chains of the monotony of the genres.
Los3saltos was born in Rome in December 2010 combining Murga, Cumbia, Italian folk, Reggae and Latin American rhythms. Murcia Porteña is an expression of Argentina’s Argentine carnival characterized by percussion, dance and critique-satirical songs. Their texts deal with most of the social themes mixed with the constant presence of Murga, stories that have as the conductor a social and political message, being the group a riddle of the murders Los Adoquines de Spartaco, then the well-known social center of Quadraro , Spartaco.
The band searches for alternative spaces for a cultural expression through their own songs. A Los3saltos show-performance is a overwhelming explosion of music with powerful percussion, melodic and deep bass guitars, inexhaustible energy and continuous movement. The young Italian band that best interprets the sign of “esta”.
In July 2015, they released “S3S”, their new album of 12 original tracks recorded at the Gnagnotech Studio of San Lorenzo, Rome. An LP that shows a jump in quality and a maturity compared to their previous work, “LOS3SALTOS”, a 6-track EP “true” and sincere. “S3S” is a real discography product, housed in it in the slightest detail by artist Laura Cionci, who in the booklet is part of his work related to the “Carnevalma” project in collaboration with Los3saltos. The album also includes the participation of the young talented rap rapist Morris Gola (Pugni in Tasca) and the singer-musician-interpreter-producer-master of circus games Adriano Bono, “mentor” of the group n from his dawn.
Thomas Valente and the Maldestra Orchestra
Via colle a frio
Thomas Valente and The Maldestra Orchestra is a project that is born in the street, from passion and love to music, all round.

Tamburellists of Torre Paduli, the midnight pinch
Republic square
The group resumes the music that heals the tarantas (the “bartendered” by the mythical spider cobwebs) by melancholy and is inspired by the grandiose traditions of the tambourine and dance-fencing of Torrepaduli (Ruffano-Lecce), where he lives every year (August 15) An ancient culture linked to the San Rocco Sanctuary. The success of the Tamburellists, in the end, also contributes to the new, dramatic growth of the San Rocco party. The Torrepaduli Tamburellists have the collaboration of Paolo Pellegrino, professor of aesthetics, and Antonio Anchora, ambassador of Hellenism in the world. They also recover the so-called Grecìa salentina, a language that survived after Magnificent colonization and Byzantine domination, singing some significant songs and writing new ones. But all Salento can be considered culturally Greek and it is just the pinch pinch that, by itself, for its structure and functions, embodies the ancient Greek conceptions. Torrepaduli also boasts well-defined Greek-Byzantine origins. So the art of the Tamburellists, despite the fact that a contemporary collocation, which De Giorgi strongly claims, has a Greek flavor: dancers and musicians really look like satyrs and menadas of a thionious Dionysian. Singing, which combines authentic poetry and good musical vibrations, is no different from that of aedi.
Simone Gamberi
largo trento
Young songwriter Simone Gamberi (Montefiascone 1989) discovers the passion for music at the age of 13 but is in the year when she graduates at the Conservatory of Santa Cecilia as a trumpet professor, who officially begins her musical career.

The live shows are constantly rising and with the output of the song “Italiota”, Simone invites “his people” – so affectionately the songwriter calls his fans – to follow him on the tour carrying the tricolor flag; To unite even more people who love it.

On December 8 came out Track “Big Bang”: The piece that gave birth to the 2016 tour was only presented at the end, as it was chosen for the Sanremo Giovani selections.
