Musique Vivante
Il nuovissimo gruppo uscito dalla verve di Carlo Actis Dato , la cui musica è un vero spettacolo di improvvisazione , sia musicale che scenica.
Musique Vivante è formato da giovani musicisti , sicure promesse nel mondo del jazz italiano.
La musica del gruppo, tutta composta da C.Actis Dato, attinge i suoi spunti dal jazz, dalla musica etnica mediterranea e medio-orientale, dal funk, dal R&B, dalla musica africana e caraibica, dalla salsa, dalla morna capoverdiana, da sonorità balcaniche e dell’Europa meridionale.
Il gruppo esegue quindi musica d’arte resa facilmente fruibile attraverso riferimenti e citazioni di musiche appartenenti al comune sentire, evitando sterili intellettualismi ed inutili virtuosismi, offrendola al pubblico in modo che possa riconoscersi e ritrovarsi in essa.
