NOTHING IS PURE. REBEL YOURSELF.

It’s fun. It’s easy. It’s today’s global Europe. Viva la globalisaXion cultural!

Célia Mara is melting with the Babel of Genoa: the multi-ethnic spectacle is spreading energy and joy,
uniting the pressing grooves of percussion, marvelous voices, ethnic and urban dance scenes with
Célia Mara’s bombastic performance: It’s a global bastards world on stage. Surprising, intensive, with
a large dose of humor, driven by irresistible beats.
Mara brings Brazil going funk, Samba mixed with Cumbia and Rap, Electric-Tango, Punk and
NuBossa… defying categorization. She presents songs labeled as : “a 100% legal hit” by songlines,
easygoing, groovy, surprising, simply… crackers.
Guided by Davide Ferrari, the musicians mix, in a bursting and pressing sound, the rhythms of Cuban
congas, Djembe and Darabouka, the magical riffs of kora and funky sounds on a Toy-keyboard…
Street rap joins with Russian melodies and Brazilian Coco, flamenco meets Indian classical dance,
Hip Hop goes China…
That’s 90 minutes of global bastardsound, a bursting show with powerful lead singer & guitar player
Célia Mara and La Banda di Piazza Caricamento, a group of fifteen young artists immigrated from all
continents, directed by Davide Ferrari.
A coproduction globalista with „Festival del mediterraneo“.

Who is who:
Célia Mara – she is a 21st. century singer – songwriter and guitar player, a real Brazilian groovelady,
a jazz singer full of emotion, a screaming rock star, a sensual seduction - simply – a firework on stage.
Always carrying a message for peace and social justice with her …
Célia Mara’s fresh Brazilian bastard sound made in Vienna already conquered globalised world music
… it combines Brazilian and Latin-American roots with electronics, funk, reggae and jazz into
sophisticated, vibrant and socially aware pieces. Great reviews in prestigious magazines (songlines,
global Rhythm…), airplay and chart positions in the global world music and big festivals appearances
testimony the power of her globalized sound.
La Banda di Piazza Caricamento – the Babel of Genoa – young musicians immigrated from Iran,
Libanon, Morocco, Mexico, Brasil, India, Sudan, China, Russia, Senegal, Rwanda, Sri Lanka,
Germany – brought together in 2007, directed by Davide Ferrari / Festival del Mediterraneo.
La Banda di Piazza Caricamento’s babel sound made in Genoa, awarded by amnesty international,
rises as an artistic symbol of cohabitation and violence denial, creativity and cultural methamorphosys.
Since 2007, the band had acclaimed appearances on Italy’s festivals - (Roma, Milano, Genoa).
