Since its creation in 1999, the Rassegna Company has passionately explored the abundant repertoire of popular Mediterranean songs.
Bruno leads a captivating epic at the heart of timeless melodies, echoing the collective imagination. “I have a taste for being in between, passionate about cross-cultural music. You have to be destabilized by mixed kinship, coming from many cultural places, both on a family and professional level.”
Luna Llena is a musical program: “An informal party on stage, which arises spontaneously. For us, it is a rediscovery each time of popular Mediterranean music, which transmits spontaneous joy.”
Bruno alone embodies a rich mix of Mediterranean surroundings: son of a Provençal father and a mother of Andalusian origins, flamenco singer, he was also a student of Tony Petrucciani, guitar teacher and father of the late pianist of jazz Michel Petrucciani.
Bruno is also the idea of a certain intimacy with his troupe. Having the chance to interact with him means being discreet and appreciating his musical skills. The diverse, the multiple, the compound, define him in his musical approach. And when he talks about the artists who accompany him, himself crossed paths and refugees in the mixture of cultures, places, voices and instruments, he invites us to live this unique experience again.
They offer us, in a sort of meditation, “a beautiful place like Marseille, where the idea of circulation still exists, through history, languages, music, ideas…”
“Everything is not compartmentalized, we must move freely…” A way of responding to uncertain times, to the ideologies of rejection or confinement, to questions of identity, borders, nationalities…
Pegged at the heart of world music, the idea of travel, musical odyssey and artistic nomadism. In the words of the Rassegna Company, there is a call for extensive geographical and cultural circulation, among the riches of a nourishing Mediterranean: Latin, Balkan, Eastern and African. It is from this diversity that the collective draws its initial material, the data of its sensitive grammar.
The elegance of Bruno Allary’s words and the sharing of this music promise us a beautiful evening, Friday November 22, at 8:30 p.m., at La Maison du Savoir, where six artists, long-travel companions, will concentrate their repertoire around songs coming from Sicily, Spain, western Algeria and Occitania.
