Seven summer events for a musical revue, the thematic part of the Malatesta Music Festival, dedicated to the new sounds that are located in a border area between present and past, between ‘cultured’ and ‘extra-classical’ music, between lost folk traditions and the universe of world music. Always informed by jazz, which is the glue holding together the genres and sounds ranging between rock, blues, classical, folk and pop from near and far.
The route of Percuotere la Mente 2017 leads between the British atmosphere, the roots of the American folk music and the Italian singer songwriters from past and present.
In the triangle of United Kingdom, United States and Italy, this year’s calendar is enriched with proposals that will cover the entire summer season with seven appointments from 7th June to 12th September.
The calendar will be kicked off with a prologue by Cat Power, on 7th June, followed in July and August by the Italian music project ‘Le Luci della Centrale elettrica’, on 12th July, The Divine Company, 30th July, Billy Brag, 6th August, and Radical Face on 24th August.
On schedule there are also two appointments dedicated to the Italian singer songwriters, from the wellknown Genoa authors, 3rd July, to the unforgettable Lucio Battisti, 12th September (concert postponed from 25th July beacause of bad weather)
The performances are proposed as usual in the suggestive frame of the Corte degli Agostiniani, in the heart of Rimini historic centre. excepte the last on 'Pensieri e parole - Omage to Lucio Battisti, which will be held at the Novelli Theatre on 12th September.
