A Special Tribute to Sergio Bruni
The concert features Raiz accompanied by Giuseppe De Trizio (classical guitar, arrangements), Adolfo La Volpe (electric guitar), Giovanni Chiapparino (accordion), Francesco Corrado De Palma (drums), and Giorgio Vendola (bass). Raiz commented on the project linked to the album “Si ll'ammore è 'o ccuntrario d”a morte”, released in February 2023: “A heartfelt concert, between narration and sound, dedicated to the music written and performed by Sergio Bruni… His songs have accompanied my family history for a couple of generations and therefore by paying homage to the great artist I would have taken inspiration for a tribute to the world that generated me and gave me the means to express myself.”
