TTEO (live)

There are only few multi-instrumentalists that find the fine line between sophisticated jazz influenced music and popular electronic beats like TTEO does. One of the reasons for managing this balance so good might be Matteo Capreoli’s deep musical heritage:  Fernando Antonio Capreoli, his father, left Salento in southern Italy for Germany in 1970, before forming disco-funk-rock outfit Lovexpress, made up of mainly Italian and Scandinavian musicians, playing drums in the band and touring Norway, Sweden and Denmark from 1974 to 1979.

When Fernando’s own father passed away, he was forced to return to Germany and Matteo was later born in Reutlingen, near Stuttgart, in 1986. The artistic influence of his father was strong in Matteo’s formative years and was a huge support to the aspiring musician as he began to find his own voice.

Matteo released his first albums under his own name and on his own label, TeTe Arts, in 2010. Two more followed, with sounds that spanned pop, hip hop and reggae. He signed to Berlin based imprint Sonar Kollektiv in 2020 as TTeo, releasing the Salento EP, named after the place of his father’s birth. More recently, though, he was serendipitously handed a batch of cassettes by his father of some of Lovexpress’ live shows from the late 1970s. The cassettes form the basis of, and the inspiration for Matteo’s latest LP - Lovexpress 77. It’s an album that brings things full circle for Matteo, who now lives between Berlin and his family’s hometown of Salento.

We are very happy to welcome TTEO for the first time to Klunkerkranich and enjoy with him a wonderful Wednesday evening on our favourite Neukölln rooftop.

Soulski himself will play after Matteo’s concert a special vinyl selection of tradition and modern Mediterranean and World influenced music.
