Concert: Peppe Voltarelli with Marco Calliari
http://www.peppevoltarelli.it/
http://www.marcocalliari.com/
Description: Southern Italian singer-songwriter, composer and actor Peppe Voltarelli will make his New York City concert debut. Born in Italy’s Calabria region, the 40 year-old Voltarelli’s work is a modern Italian’s musical take on the diaspora of tight-knit Calabrian immigrant communities that continue to thrive throughout Europe and the Americas. Voltarelli is also a published author with a collection poetry and songs in Calabrian dialect with English translation. The opening act for Peppe Voltarelli’s (Le) Poisson Rouge date is the Montreal-based Italo-Canadian singer-songwriter Marco Calliari. Calliari, a founding member of the highly successful Francophone thrash metal band Anonymus, uses the stage savvy from his previous artistic incarnation and skillfully combines it with traditional Italian rhythms such as tarantella with elements of flamenco, klezmer, reggae, ska and rock. Born in Montreal in the mid-seventies to Italian immigrants. A local favorite, Calliari is a staple of Montreal cultural events and television and radio broadcasts. His powerful performances of classic Italian songs have also made him quite popular on the touring circuit in Europe. As a festival producer and concert promoter, Calliari actively promotes Italian music in Quebec. His song “L’Americano” is featured on the new the Putumayo Italia compilation.
