Luca Bassanese & Tarantella Circus Orchestra (Puglia, Italy)
Luca Bassanese & Tarantella Circus Orchestra presents for 2014 a unique show of its kind, a mix of tarantella and popular music of southern Italy with unbridled rhythms and electrobalkan influences.
A concert for who have hearts and legs trained, where the public finds himself catapulted into an incredible circus, made of joy, songs, poetry and want to dance. A project born on stage at the “Cabaret Sauvage” in Paris by the union of pizzica, tarantella and electro-balkan musicians, together with the theatrical songwriter and performer Luca Bassanese, under the artistic direction of composer and producer Stefano Florio.
The interpreter and composer Luca Bassanese is one of the most representatives of the new pop(ular) Italian music. His writings, of poetry and satire, denounced in a completely original way the contradictions of a country, Italy, which seems to have lost his mind.

actor, writer, musician and storyteller ... but first of all a Human.
Described as "anomalous character of these times", Luca Bassanese is an artist very active in social work, in harmony with the environmental movement and civil commitment (He has win the "Award Recanati - Musicultura ", fifteenth ed.), is considered among the most important new exponents of Folk Pop and Italian singer-songwriter.
Corriere della Sera Daily - "The busker orchestra accentuates the atmosphere with the Luca Bassanese “the philosopher ", immediate and engaging " (Andrea Laffranchi ).
BLOW UP Mag.- "What a talent , Bassanese, an innate sense of melody and ability to vary boldly expressive register to vertigo: some things you can’t learn ..." (Enrico Veronese).
IL MUCCHIO Mag. - "If today in Italy there is someone who can give meaning to our folk music, this is called Luca Bassanese. In its simplicity is simply brilliant" (Gianni Della Cioppa).
The course of his human, artistic way and its multi-ethnic musical array, led him to date the collaboration with various artists from different cultures, including the prestigious Original Kocani Orkestar from Macedonia, singer Bachir Berber Charaf called "The Voice of the Desert" and the young Senegalese singer Abdul Aziz Wade.
Artist disinclined to commercial and appropriated environments, his is a path away from established patterns over time which makes him a lone voice, in tune with the environmental movement and civil commitment. His song “L’acqua in bottiglia” (Bottled water) becomes manifest in the referendum campaign for public water while “Salta per l’indignazione” (Skip for the indignation) from the album “Al mercato” (At The Market) of 2006 is used as the soundtrack of the civil list which will lead to mayor Naples former magistrate Luigi De Magistris.

In his third album “Il futuro del mondo” (The Future of the World) he speaks about pollution theme with a song entitled “La leggenda del pesce petrolio” (The Legend of the Oil Fish) in support of the ‘Sea Shepherd Association’ for the defense and preservation of the marine species in danger of extinction. S
Since February 2011, his song entitled “Santo Subito!” (Holy Now) of the album “La società dello Spettacolo” (The Society of the Spectacle) became the opening theme of the program "The Comunicattivo" conducted daily by Igor Righetti on Radio1 Rai.
They say about him: "Luca Bassanese is not only an author and a prolific, imaginative interpreter, but a subversive artist who tries to subvert the obvious words within words, the dull in looks, the fake thoughts, so to release energies and passions and give a voice to what is still genuine and free. Histrionic narrator, able to go beyond a predetermined pattern or style , giving us new and unusual visions of an interior and exterior world, where not everything is always as it appears, Luca Bassanese is an artist who is not content to write or sing, but is constantly looking for new suggestions - sounds, images , voices , stories - to help him explore the world and penetrate the gray bark. Bassanese, with its multi-faceted work, is searching to pierce the veil of indifference and laziness that dims our eyes to help us find new grounds of wonder and beauty".
