A Blues Man is Born

A good time was had by all at a friend's 50th birthday party last night. The crowd was moving and grooving to the music of the De Ville Blues Band of Trani. To read about them and listen to their music on their MySpace page, click here.

My younger son jumped in on the fun with the spoons. Talk about your washboard abs!

Santa Allegrezza

The "Santa Allegrezza" is the traditional Molfettan Christmas song. A series of events has been planned around the song this weekend. Last night an illustrated book of the song's lyrics was presented at city hall, followed by an exhibit of the original paintings, by local artist Vittoria Facchini, in the old town.

This video is of terrible quality, but at least you can hear the song...

Radiodervish

There was a free concert in City Hall square (Piazza Municipio) Thursday night. The group playing was Radiodervish, a world music group from Bari. They sing in a mix of Italian, Arabic and English and their music carries a message of peace. Listen to their song "Immagine di te" (Image of You) at this link.
