Vinicio Capossela & La Banda della Posta

Concert

When Vinicio Capossela and the Banda della Posta take the stage, we are confronted with a party all’italiana. Mazurka, polka, waltz, tango, tarantella, quadriglia and foxtrot inevitably prompt nostalgic memories and feelings in anyone with a soft spot for bella Italia. Vinicino Caposella is one of Italy’s great singer-songwriters. With the «bandits» of the Banda della Posta he plays the wedding and dance music of the glorious fifties. The musicians are all elderly gentlemen from Caposella’s hometown outside Naples. The name of the orchestra alludes to the pensioners of former times who awaited their pension in the post office each month. Once the cheque arrived, they started to play and soon the entire village was on its feet ... Be there when the lakeside stage turns into a lively Italian village square! (ron)
