A Carnival Celebration on Fat Thursday - Cpncert

Casa ltaliana Zerilli-Marimò NYU

Mafalda Minnozzi with Paul Ricci, RogĂ©rio Boccato, Art Hirahara and Will Calhoun. 

For this special one-time event celebrating the Thursday that opens the carnival festivities (Fat Thursday), the repertoire will focus on the many forms of Brazilian song that owe their roots to the Afro Brazilian carnival rhythms which then over time and space extended well beyond Brazil.  Italian song will also be an important element in the evolution of the show, thanks above all to some Brazilian compositions penned in Italian by Sergio Bardotti and Paolo Limiti that have become possibly more popular than the original versions of the songs. It is the beauty of music that, by integrating different cultures, transforms itself and regenerates itself, always creating new styles and sensations.
