Mediterranean
Tales.
A lyrical Mediterranean journey where piano and bandoneon become two expressive chamber voices in dialogue.
Gianni Iorio · Bandoneon
Mediterranean Tales · Live performance
The music of a shared sea.
Original compositions, Mediterranean lyricism, free improvisation and an intimate musical dialogue.
The cinematic story-telling is the very core of Mediterranean Tales.
After their highly acclaimed 2016 debut album as a duo, Nocturno, Pasquale Stafano and Gianni Iorio widen the scope of music even further. The duo sings in a unique voice of its own, creating their soundscape with original compositions, free improvisations and great interplay, drawing upon classical contemporary music to the jazz with hints of folk and pop music with the toutching mediterranean melody always in the center.
The "mare nostrum" is the main core of their tales; from a "Secret Sun Dance" inspired by the alternation of sunrise and sunset in the south of Italy to the hidden dreams of a dreamer met in Portugal to the "Landscapes" captured by the window of the train, giving emotions to the listener and creating new interesting and original music that touches in the depths of the soul.
