Lemonjazz Festival Sorrento 2023 kicks off on July 1st in Villa Fiorentino in the city of lemons with concerts offering different styles and successful sounds. With free entrance (until seats availability) the shows scheduled at 8:30 p.m. will be adorned by the evocative atmosphere of the musical event dedicated to the flavors and colors of the territory.
There are many styles on offer. It starts on Saturday 1st July with C'ammafunk. Behind a play on words hides a "street / old school" funk sound with a contamination from the characteristic jazz of hip-hop and psychedelia. Followed by the group The Sweet Life Society, which drew the concept of sound from the rustling of vintage vinyl for a project born from the meeting of the two producers, Gabriele Concas and Matteo Marini, creating a rhythm that knows how to amuse and entertain.
On Sunday 2nd July the Enrico Valanzuolo Trio will take to the stage and their strong and incisive melodies, with never predictable arrangements, which ferry the listener towards new emotional paths, where silences and sounds create suggestions and feelings. The program follows the artist Karima in the show entitled "No Filter", who began to make herself known to the general public by participating in the sixth edition of Amici and winning the Critics Award. In 2009 he competed at the Sanremo Festival in the New Proposals category. "No Filter" is the new recording project, a lineup of great international hits, revisited with explosive intensity, in an overlapping of pop and jazz elements.
Saturday 8nd July is the turn of the Fabio Nunziata & Aldo Vigorito Duo. The artistic couple represents the ideal ensemble for an intimate musical dialogue open to new sound and timbre explorations. Also on Saturday the Andrea Braido Trio performs in “Play
Jimi Hendrix". Andrea Braido is a great multi-instrumentalist and virtuoso guitarist. Many Italian singer-songwriters and artists, from Vasco to Mina, have used his collaboration for the musical improvement of many songs that are part of the history of Italian rock.
On Sunday 9th the Lucy Kiely Trio plays a Mediterranean swing tune drawing on the Australian singer-songwriter's years of experience, which includes releasing four of her original albums and co-writing the official platinum jubilee song for Queen Elizabeth II. In closing the highly refined Lino Cannavacciulo in "Via Napoli", a journey through five centuries of Neapolitan music, an act of love and gratitude towards an artistic heritage that the composer from Pozzuoli has created with balance, from Scarlatti to Pino Daniele, from Pergolesi to Pink Floyd, passing through Viviani, De Simone and the Osannas.
The Lemonjazz Festival is organized by the Foundation and the Municipality of Sorrento with the patronage of the Ministry of Culture.
