Musica Nuda: Petra Magoni & Ferruccio Spinetti with special guest: Pacifico

Italian “Voice 'n' Bass” duo Petra Magoni and Ferruccio Spinetti, who have been charming audiences in France and Italy with their series of “Musica Nuda” (Nude Music) releases and concerts, return to New York. Tenco Prize winner Pacifico will make a special guest appearance on the date.

With their elegantly ‘naked’ combination of voice and double bass, Magoni and Spinetti’s live performance pays homage to the great writers of the Italian canzone and French chanson traditions such as Lucio Battisi, Fabrizio de André, Adriano Celentano, Jacques Brel, and Jacques Higelin.  The duo also showcases songs by the new generation of Italian songwriters like Pacifico and Cristina Doná and performs their own originals, as well.

Musica Nuda refers to the art of stripping down a piece of music, regardless of genre, while preserving its intimate essence.  It’s the art of valuing the often overlooked  “musical silence” and it’s also the art of using humor to confront opposing extremes as evidenced by Magoni’s ethereal voice and Spinetti’s witty anachronistic acoustic bass.
