AccordiAbili in concert with AbilBand

Saturday 24 July, from 8 pm “AbilBand” and “Gli Amici di AccordiAbili” will take the stage in the Cloister of Santa Chiara in Mola di Bari, as part of the itinerant initiative promoted by AccordiAbili and the GV3 association A swollen sails towards life , which includes a series of events that will stop in various Apulian marinas along the Adriatic coast: Villanova, Mola di Bari, Monopoli and Savelletri to spread messages of legality through activities related to the sea, sailing and music.

AccordiAbili has always been able to count on many β€œdreamer” musicians who support its mission and who could not fail to make a contribution even for β€œBarone & Pirati”. This is how, for the occasion, a band was born, to which it seemed more than natural to give the name “Gli Amici di AccordiAbili”, composed by: Andrea Gargiulo sax – hammond, Camillo Pace bass, Onofrio Susca piano, Giovanni Renna drums , Leo Laguardia clarinet and Mariangela Rendini vocals. Fishing in the vast jazz and blues repertoire, at the turn of the thirties and sixties, “Gli Amici di AccordiAbili”, will propose six rearranged songs by maestro Andrea Gargiulo, soul of the Musica In Gioco association: C Jam Blues by Duke Ellington, Summertime by George Gershwin, So what by Miles Davis, Mercy, Mercy, Mercy by Joe Zawinul and Sweet Home Chicago popular blues song included in the soundtrack of the film The Blues Brothers which, during the traveling event, will also bring the guys from the project to the stage “Legality is a good skill” who will join in singing to “Gli Amici di AccordiAbili”.

To open the evening will be the AbilBand, a musical group composed mainly of musicians with disabilities, born thanks to the funding of the regional call for Puglia Social Capital 2.0. AbilBand will be directed by maestro Camillo Pace who with his guitar and his voice will perform with Leonardo Laguardia, piano and voice, Pierangelo Nardone who will sing Claudio Villa’s “Granada”, Leo Sabatelli with a very personal medley of Fiorello’s “Finally you” and “I feel good” by James Brown and Alice Iacovazzi who will perform interpreting a piece by Jovanotti: “The pockets full of stones”. To close the performance, the whole AbilBand on stage to play and sing an unreleased song, written by the whole band, in homage to love with the words of Shakespeare.

From July 17 to August 7, the program of events includes sailing, sea excursions, sup competitions, concerts and many other initiatives for adults and children.

“Baron and Pirates – Sailing and Music for the law” obtained the patronage of the Puglia Region, the Municipality of Ostuni, the Municipality of Fasano, the Municipality of Mola di Bari and the Municipality of Monopoli. The initiative is part of the “A swollen sails for legality” project funded by the Puglia Region.
