Music Monday: Italian HIT Week: Unexpected Sounds from Italy

This Saturday, November 8th, from 7:00pm to 11:00pm, “Unexpected Sounds of Italy” will take place at North Beach Bandshell. “Unexpected Sounds of Italy” is Italian HIT Week, an annual series of top jazz, pop, and fusion artists. The goal of this series is to share Italian with to the world and show that it is more than Mafia movie soundtracks and Mandolin.

This is the 4th edition of the series, which brings fresh Italian artists to the United States. In the past, it has brought Italian legends like Subsonica, Negrita, Mannarino, Canzonieri Grecanico Salentino, Nicola Conte and others. This year, the headline artist is Caparezza, an artist with a unique sound that mixes elements of hip hop with the theatricality of opera. His use of heavy beats, crazy costumes, and creative wordplay have made him one of Italy’s most engaging musicians.

The night will also feature young Italian group Kusto, Italian DJ, and some Italian wine and cuisine to sample.
