RAOUL’S SUMMER – A CONSERT FOR THE KING OF “LISCIO”

There are places that are able to change into something more then their domestic original dimension, and are able to enter inside the collective imagination of a country. This places are able to makes us feel as if they were part of our lives all along.

That’s the case of Raoul Casadei’s house, located on the big avenue that divide Cesenatico and Gatteo Mare, a place that made history of italian popular culture and now is part of our dreams, of many social transformations, of our summers, of our “right to have fun”, that is one of the legacies of the “father of liscio” (a traditional type of dance), that goes beyond the artistic factor.

The night of his birthday, 15th of August, will be dedicated at the music that made the region of Romagna so famous, recognizing it as “world music”, a sound that mix together different languages, sources, quotations and the different heritages of folk’s and mazurka’s scores, making it a perfect occasion to meet up and have fun, but also to grow, for a countryside society that wants to claim its spotlight.

Thanks to Raoul and then his son Mirko, that piked up his father creative inheritance, was shown that liscio can work with every music, as it happens with the many musical contamination in Balamondo festival.

On the 15th of August, Mirko Casadei POPular Folk Orchestra will share the stage with a very special guest, one who make the eclectic artist his main mark, Enrico Ruggeri.

Together, Enrico Ruggeri and Mirko Casadei, will perform unexpected versions of the great classics of liscio, making us dance under the night sky of Romagna, that will be even more beautiful from the lights that will spell on the big avenue the words “Romagna Capitale” (Romagna Capital), a manifesto song for a territory that welcomes and has made friendship, passion and the simple happiness of being together it’s all identity.

With them will also perform “Khorakhane” and “Balla con noi”.
