Fiamma Fumana at NYU

Thursday April 7, 2005
If you live in New York City or are visiting this weekend, don't miss this event on Saturday, April 9th, at 2 PM at NYU's Casa Italiana:

The roots and the wings: Italian identity in the age of globalization a conversation with Fiamma Fumana

From the mountains of Emilia-Romagna in northern Italy, Fiamma Fumana, is a tribute to women's singing traditions in Italy (like the choirs of mondine, the rice gatherers who were all young girls), and a revitalization of that tradition by a new generation and its musical culture - electronic dance music. The result is an intriguing blend of old Italian songs and dance tunes played to new Italian dance grooves, traditional ballads and state-of-the art electronics.

Fiamma Fumana will follow up their conversation at Casa Italiana with a full performance at Satalla, at 7:30pm. For more information and tickets call Satalla at (212) 576-1155.
