Pippo Pollina & Palermo Acoustic Quintet - In Concerto

Pippo Pollina ranks among Europe's most beloved Italian singer-songwriters, having performed over 4000 concerts across the continent. For more than 35 years, he has captivated his devoted fans with boundless creativity - from lyrical ballads and poetic protest songs to rock compositions, always maintaining sensitivity and tenderness in his music.

Pollina has collaborated with countless international artists, including Georges Moustaki, Franco Battiato, Inti Illimani, Konstantin Wecker, Rebekka Bakken, Charlie Mariano, Werner Schmidbauer, and Martin Kälberer. The album "Canzoni segrete" explores the power of music and the consequences of prosperity, a strange pandemic and shifting passions, dreams, hopes, and disappointments. The songs are rooted in past decades, particularly in the period from January 2019 to June 2020. They were recorded in studios in Italy, France, Germany, and Switzerland - an ambitious project that challenged Pollina as a composer and poet, a thinker, musician, and arranger.

Pollina sings and reflects, speaks and meditates in a raspy yet sonorous voice, sometimes with a touch of laconic wit, but always with deep reverence for the beauty of sound and the power of art. Music is a gift - the foundation of this mature and harmonious album that Pollina will bring to the stage.
