The Monopolele Festival (Mediterranean Ukulele Festival) will begin in the best possible way: Danilo Vignola, musician extraordinaire, ukulele virtuoso, highly acclaimed abroad whose musical creations are brushstrokes, tightrope walking and engaging, of Mediterranean atmospheres In his music there is South, there is sensuality, there is the warmest Europe.
Danilo (who in the performance will be accompanied by percussionist Giò Di Donna) will then pass the baton to a Duo of young people from Bulgaria, Vilizar Gichev and Petar Terziev, and the ukulele will spread flavors of klezmer, swing, a little bit gypsy and a little bit jazz, a real baptism that will delight the audience and invite them to dance.
The journey will reach, then, one of the homelands of the Ukulele: England. Ukulele Huff, worthy apostle of the British ukulelist tradition sort with George Formby, engaging instrumentalist who, with fan stroke techniques and other stylistic sorceries mixed with humor, will complete, in the most exciting way, the evening. And then wait for the final surprise!
