Between Puglia and the Balkans

Redi Hasa, cello
Maria Mazzotta, voice

An unusual encounter, an innovative experiment. The result is an extraordinary duo in which the incredible voice of Maria Mazzotta from Salento, soloist of the ensemble Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino, easily intertwines with the strings of the Albanian cello of Redi Hasa, soloist of the ensemble of Ludovico Einaudi and of the group Bandadriatica, from Puglia. The project, not by chance titled "Ura" (meaning "bridge" in Albanian and "now" in Salento dialect), brings to light the possible connections among the repertories sailing in the Adriatic sea, joining the Balkans and the Carpathians with the regions of Southern Italy. The voice of Maria Mazzotta gently floats and it is rich of endless shades coming from the musical languages of the two shores, while the sound of Redi Hasa is always adjustable to traditional melodies, making this project incredibly fascinating and capable to build a bridge between distant worlds that become extremely close thanks to music.
