Jazz

Kekko Fornarelli piano/synth/samples) & Roberto Cherillo (vocals/electronics/synthbass)

“Shine” is a brand new project born from the collaboration of two unique artists. A Duo melting in a extraordinary bond two different personalities, creating a sound which ranges from classical piano to electronics, from Northern European influences to Anglo Saxons contaminations, to Eastern ideas. Voice and piano are perfectly harmonized and they sustain each other, blending in the distortions created by the synth.

The gig is supported by by PUGLIA SOUNDS EXPORT (PO FESR PUGLIA2007/2013 ASSE IV INVESTIAMO NEL VOSTRO FUTURO).
