Mario Venuti is about to shake up the Italian music scene with a tour that promises to be a real sonic earthquake, celebrating his new album of unreleased songs released on April 19, 2024 and produced by Microclima. After having set clubs and theaters alight far and wide with celebrations for his 60th birthday and 40 years of career, the artist is starting again with a fresh and boldly electric lineup, ready to blow the roofs off with a mix of rhythms that leaves no prisoners.

A Chilling Formation
On stage, Mario Venuti will lead the charge on guitar and vocals, joined by Peppe Milia and Giuseppe Nasello on guitars, Eusebio Gentulio on bass, Franco Barresi on drums and Gabriel Prado on percussion. This razor-sharp band promises to blend global influences into an explosion of sound that could make even the most rigid rock purists dance.
The Artist's Provocative Statements
“When they ask me – says Venuti – if I think of the words or the music first I answer that I think of the sound first. Then the rest comes by itself. The same goes for a concert. The setlist is born as a consequence of the sound I have in mind. For this new show the percussions that sound like Africa and Brazil resonate in my ears together with the electric guitars that sound like the Beatles, like Talking Heads. The songs, even my most popular ones, will have to adapt to this sound and then it will be a beautiful journey, a discovery of that ever-living material that are songs”.
A Musical Journey Not to Be Missed
The audience should prepare for a sensory assault, with the opportunity to relive the great successes that have marked the artist's career, mixed with fresh songs from his latest album, such as the single Napoli-Bahia released in May 2023 and Degrado, the last song that kicked off the album's release. It will be a rhythmic adventure that could leave everyone with ringing ears and a heart in turmoil.
