Yo Yo Mundi

Milano
/ 20 July 2011
“I’m listening from my Monferrato (…) this wonderful album of Yo Yo Mundi dedicated to these lands (theirs and mine). I’m appreciating the colourful sadness of these songs in which the frequent use of minor tone (a question regarding the harmony) doesn’t creates the sadness and surrender, but an unbroken dance of lights and shadows. (…) Yo Yo Mundi have worked with excellent orchestrations that inflame and woo the magic box, the accordion, the tower of Babel and Queen of Saba”. With these words Paolo Conte presents the latest album of Yo Yo Mundi, Munfrâ music project with a lot of notable collaborations Hevia, Steve Wickham (Waterboys), Banda Osiris, among the others. The band set up at the end of the 80s in Acqui Terme, between the Monferrato hills, in the south of Piedmont: here was born the “wild” music of Yo Yo Mundi (a definition created for them by Paolo Conte) characterized for the great part by the use of the dialect of Monferrato and by a bedlam of various instruments. On Tuesday September 20th at Alcatraz, 10 p.m. Yo Yo Mundi perform together with Alex Leonte, violin, Simone Lombardo, ghironda, bagpipes and flutes. Tickets € 5 Buy here your ticket online!
