Calabrian songkeeper, Mimmo Cavallaro brings the tarantella calabrese to Australian shores
For the first time in Melbourne, Mimmo Cavallaro brings us his dynamic and passionate modern mix of traditional Calabrian/Italian folk music in this one night only event! The folk music master will perform in Adelaide,Shepparton, Melbourne, Sydney and Wollongong
Mimmo Cavallaro is presently the most dominating interpreter of the Calabrian musical tradition, packing out the piazzas all across Italy and Europe, Canada, Argentina and beyond - taking his vibrant and rich performance abroad to audiences far and wide.
His music is alive and pulsating with rhythm, rich in culture and tradition and very much loved and enjoyed by all who see him perform. His songs feature dialect and the use of traditional instruments, such as the Calabrian lira, and Italian Bigpipes, mixed with old texts and enchanting harmonies - making him one of the most dynamic and influential interpreters and authors of Italian popular music around.
Both young and old flock in the thousands to watch his show, to dance and be taken by the magic of his music.
