I Cantautori: Lieder und Geschichten aus Italien (Benefizkonzert)

Charity Concert for International Youth Exchanges

An extraordinary concert that brings Italy’s rich culture and moving history to life through songs and stories: With versatility and passion, “I Cantautori” celebrate the poetic depth of Italian music. Their program is also a tribute to great Italian singer-songwriters, including Lucio Dalla, Francesco De Gregori, Fabrizio De André, Zucchero, Paolo Conte, and Pippo Pollina.

The trio is centered around the two Italian musicians and songwriters Rocky Verardo (vocals, keyboard) and Andrea Paoletti (percussion), whose passion and creativity shape the group’s style. Richie Necker rounds out the band as a composer and guitarist.

“While Eros Ramazzotti provides the soundtrack to the more touristy side of Italo-pop, I Cantautori present melodies that capture the Italy of poetry and melancholy. Beautiful vocals, magnificent musicians—it would be unfair to single out just one of the three.” (Münchner Merkur).

The Community Partnership Association uses the proceeds from the event to support youth exchanges as part of Neubiberg’s sister city partnership with Ablon-sur-Seine, France.
