Jovanotti (live DJ set with bassist Saturnino from Soleluna).
Until now, American audiences have had to make do with mere glimpses of the brilliant career of one of Italy’s most famous contemporary artists, the Tuscan singer and songwriter Lorenzo Cherubini, professionally known as Jovanotti. Over the past twenty years his recorded collaborations with Michael Franti, Ben Harper, Carlinhos Brown, Sergio Mendes, and Bono, among other well-known names, have occasionally caught the ear of the adventurous listener. Delivering lyrics in a half-sung, half-spoken style that has something esthetically in common with a downtown reading by a Beat poet, Jovanotti uses the rhythm and the ricochet of consonants and catchy melodic hooks to create songs that are instantly accessible to an international audience.
Beco Roberto
"Beco" Dranoff has collaborated with a plethora of established and up-and-coming artists worldwide to bring just the right sound to the music world. Beco has assisted with the understanding of the Neo-Tropicalia Movement, Afropop.
