LUASIBERICA ORCHESTRA (Andalusia, Brazil, Italy, Portugal):
The amazing talents coming from the countries of the Sete Sóis Sete Luas Festival give life to a new musical project, LUASIBERICA ORCHESTRA, a blend of Mediterranean sound and Portuguese-speaking world. The project, which combines the power of flamenco, voice of Juan Pinilla (vocal and conductor) with fado of the Portuguese, Celina da Piedade, (diatonic accordion) and Ricardo Silva (Portuguese guitar), Brazilian rhythms of Gustavo Roriz (bass) and volcanic energy of the violin played by the Italian, Elena Floris. The result is a musical delirium that well shows the eclectic and multi-layered spirit of the Portuguese-speaking world and the Mediterranean.

VALENTINA FERRAIUOLO (Italy)
This extraordinary percussionist, an artist of rare talent, has collaborated with great musicians such as Simon & Garfunkel, Francesco De Gregori and Ambrogio Sparagna, with whom she performed on numerous occasions in Italy and Europe. Accompanied by classical guitar, cello and accordion, she brings to the stage her powerful and sharp voice and the incredible art of tapping the drum head and metal ‘jingles’ of tammorra, an instrument that is a symbol of traditional Neapolitan music.

GUSTAFI (Croatia)
The band was formed in 1990, and has recorded 10 albums and played more than 1,100 live concerts. The critic, Sven Semenčić, wrote, "At the same time Gustafi represent a typical expression of Croatian music and the most complete product of world music". The concerts of this band, which can be defined as the best Croatian band in recent years, are based on the seemingly impossible, but very effective musical combinations.

KORRONTZI (Basque Country)
Formed in 2004, Korrontzi are the band which discovers new music of the Basque Country. By rediscovering the ancient tradition ‘triki’ (in Basque ‘diatonic accordion’), Korrontzi want to pay tribute to the Basque folk culture and at the same time give it some contemporary touch, adding influences from around the world. Thanks to the inexhaustible energy of the frontman, Agus Barandiaran, virtuoso on ‘trixitixe’ (Basque diatonic accordion) and talent of Kiko Moro (bass), Ander de Saratxo (drums) and Alberto Rodriguez (guitar and mandolin), Korrontzi offers a concert full of energy and joy, in which music and dance are intertwined thanks to the participation of two young dancers who will present typical festive dances of the Basque Country.

The "Sete Sois Sete Luas" Festival Enchants All Senses

With her strong and beautiful voice, the Italian singer and talented percussionist Valentina Ferraiuolo enchanted the numerous audience at her concert in Rovinj, held during the 24th edition of the festival „Sete Sois Sete Luas“.Valentina Ferraiuolo is a renowned artist with great talent and energy who has collaborated with many famous artists such as Simon & Garfunkel, Francesco De Gregori and Ambrogio Sparagna. At the Rovinj concert she mesmerized the audience not only with her voice but also by drumming on the skins and the plates of Tammorra, the old Italian tambourine and the symbol of traditional Neapolitan music which she performs. Valentina and her band brought the spirit of Southern Italy to the concert, causing everyone in the audience to dance and sing along. Unfortunately, the large audience never got the chance to see the anticipated performance by the Basque band Korrontzi, whose concert was cancelled due to heavy rain and winds.

The second concert night was, undoubtedly, dominated by the Croatian band Gustafi. The magnificent dozen took over the stage and with their energetic performance set the mood and made the audience dance. In return, the spectators didn’t allow them to leave the stage. Gustafi performed vocally and with their instruments to the best of their abilities, proving once again that they are truly a great band – in both quality and the number of their members. The festive atmosphere continued with the performance of the Luasiberica Orchestra, whose members all come from the Sete Sois Sete Luas countries (Andalusia, Brasil, Italy, Portugal). Their music is a blend of the Mediterranean sound and the world of the Portuguese speaking regions, the world which marries the best – the Portuguese Fado music, the Spanish Flamenco, Brazilian rhythms and the volcanic energy of a famous Italian artist’s violin. Their act earned them a standing ovation, while true delirium reigned during their performance of an Italian folk song “Bella Ciao”, which the audience sang together with the Luasiberica Orchestra.
