Italian band Santa Taranta present their new album, ‘Sonu – Songs from the Homeland' the Pelican Playhouse in Grafton! We are on tour in QLD and NSW this summer, presenting 'SONU'- a musical journey that celebrates Italian folk music in Australia. Beautiful songs, stories and voices from folk archives come alive in this powerful, emotional and life affirming show. Sounds (Suoni) that travel through space and time. Songs that talk about migration, love and loss, hope and life in a new country. The project ‘Sonu’, is based on selected field recordings archived at the National Library during the past 40 years. Composer and ethnomusicologist Salvatore Rossano has researched these stories and songs, arranging them along with his own new compositions, to create a vibrant experience of Italian Folk music with a fresh twist, revealing the richness of the past and the present of Italian music in Australia.
