Carolina Bubbico

With many years of versatile training, Carolina Bubbico is a pianist, singer, composer and musician of great sensitivity and artistic spontaneity. After working as writer, arranger and vocalist in several ensembles, Carolina produces the original solo project "One girl band", where she uses different instruments transforming and shaping sounds, words and music and thus creating a magnificent rhythmic vitality. Her evocative voice, due not only to her natural qualities, but also to some challenging studies, moves the listener thanks to her charisma. After working as a solo, Carolina joins two popular musicians from Puglia, the bassist Luca Alemanno, and the drummer Dario Congedo, producing her first album "Controvento". The album, released in April 2013 (Workin 'label / distr. Goodfellas), contains nine original songs, that she composed and arranged in an absolutely personal style which echoes jazz, funk, world and dream pop. Her music produces an imaginary game of sounds animated by a strong rhythmic vitality and an original use of voice. With her crystalline timbre, Carolina interprets her written texts in a spontaneous style. Her music expresses a desire for change and celebrates her enthusiasm for life. The song "A me piacerebbe ridere," single from the album "Controvento", won in 2011 the prize of best video clip in the project "Officine della Musica". Directed by Gianni De Blasi, Carolina realises her first video. In December 2012 Carolina arrives to the big screen by signing her first soundtrack and participating in the cast of the film "L'amore è imperfetto" by Francesca Muci (R&C produzioni e R.A.I. Cinema). In June 2013 she was a guest on Radio 2 in "Radio 2 Social Club" and "Moby dick" and on Rai Gulp; her record is broadcast by several Italian stations and some international radio stations. In August she worked, as arranger and pianist, on the Ensemble 05's concert who hosted the singer Cristina Zavalloni, in the context of "Ritratti Festival". The presentation tour, started in June, saw her guest, with his Ensemble, in playbills of major national festivals such as Locomotive Jazz Festival, Hydro Music Fest, Suoni a sud, and in 2014 at Piossasco Jazz festival, Locus Festival opening Laura Mvula, Ravello Festival with “Sesto Armonico” directed by M° Peppe Vessicchio and Fabrizio Bosso, Riverberi Festival. In 2015 she received the prestigious post of arranger and orchestra conductor at the Sanremo Festival for Il Volo, the winners of the Big section, and Serena Brancale one of the voices of the Young section.

Nicola Conte & Gianluca Petrella: People Need People

Read "People Need People" reviewed by Chris May


For over twenty years, the Italian producer, composer and guitarist Nicola Conte has pursued a resolutely independent path in jazz and jazz-related music. The Schema label, with whom he has almost exclusively partnered since his breakthrough album, 2000's acid-jazz masterpiece Jet Sounds, is based in the fashion-centric northern city of Milan. But Conte nearly always records at Sorisso Studio in his hometown, Bari, a seaport on the heel of Italy's boot on the country's southern Adriatic coast. This off-the-beaten-track location ...

Bravo Baboon: Humanify

Read "Humanify" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Bravo Baboon è l'evoluzione del trio Atrìo, di cui ricordiamo l'ottimo esordio (Atrìo Camilla Records 2016) con Rosario Giuliani e Javier Girotto ospiti. Formato da Gianluca Massetti al pianoforte, Dario Giacovelli al basso e Moreno Maugliani alla batteria, l'organico è andato avanti sviluppando una nuova identità stilistica, sottolineata dal nuovo nome. La proposta attuale si apre all'elettronica e assimila concetti ritmici da hip hop, dance e afro-beat senza tradire (anzi incrementando) la freschezza melodica delle composizioni originali. ...

Gaetano Partipilo: Boom Collective

Read "Boom Collective" reviewed by Emmanuel Di Tommaso


"Welcome to the Boom Collective world. Make some space into your heart and fill it with love and music and these vibes that come from within. Close you eyes, feel it, touch it."

Un talento fresco e ironico, con disincanto, e al contempo una non temuta fragilità, è quello di Carolina Bubbico, in origine «one girl band», e ora alla prima uscita ufficiale […] La musica in Controvento è un funk jazz cantautorale aggraziato e ammiccante, occasionalmente intessuto di dream pop.
