Luarte Project – Chiara Pellegrini

Born out of a passion for the sounds and rhythms of the world, Luarte Project offers a concert of world fusion and original music. The openness to artistic dialogue and multicultural encounters are fundamental ingredients for a varied and accurate search of the band’s repertoire. From the world’s songbook to original songwriter songs expressed in languages such as Portuguese, Angolan, Spanish, Cape Verdean, French, and Salento dialect, Luarte brings to the stage a wide range of stories and cultures expressed by the instruments and voices of Chiara Pellegrini (Bachelor in Jazz vocals at the Prince Claus Conservatory – Groningen (Netherlands)), Andrea Musio (singer-songwriter, oboist, and ethnomusicologist trained in Portugal), the Argentine Joaquin Cornejo (multi-instrumentalist, producer, arranger); and as special guest on drums and percussion, Gabriele Pozzolini (graduate of the L. Cherubini Conservatory in Florence). Winners of the second prize at the prestigious Alberto Cesa competition of the Folkest Festival 2023, Luarte Project is a project of cosmopolitan musicians who play for an audience that listens, dances, and is moved.

The lineup:

Chiara Pellegrini jazz musician and multi-instrumentalist (vocals, percussion, flute, and guitar), Andrea Musio ethnomusicologist, philosopher, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist (7-string guitar, oboe, charango, vocals, and bongos), the Argentine Joaquin Cornejo composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist (tenor and soprano saxophone, clarinet, piano, vocals, and percussion) and percussionist Gabriele Pozzolini (drums, cajon, percussion).
