“ArGiro di Chords”: music becomes the protagonist in the center of Bari. The event conceived and promoted by the meeting place and refined club of the same name Argiro52 in Bari of Daniele Apicella, musician and jazz music enthusiast, returns with a program of artists of extraordinary quality. A review, born in 2023 with the consultancy of Dario Marettiwhich aims to offer national and international quality music performances outdoors, not only for the Bari public but, above all, for the many tourists who flock to our city.
An aspect, that of the art of outdoor music, which could become a greater reason for valorising the city, as usually happens in all European capitals. Moreover, culture can generate, through artistic professionalism, positive economic effects throughout the territory, taking into account the greater presence of Italian and foreign tourists. An absolute novelty in the programming of the event, which achieved considerable success with the public and critics in the last edition, is the free use of concerts. A success that has encouraged the organizer to promote, also in this 2024 edition, a broader program enriched by the presence of musicians of national importance. A proper thank you goes to the sponsors who allow the exhibition to be free: Saicaf, Mebilimport and Lavermicocca Arredamenti.
This year, in fact, the program will consist of 15 concerts every Thursday at 9pm from May to October, entrusted to artists capable of involving a heterogeneous audience. Among the protagonists there will be: Mario Rosini, Nino Buonocoreone of the greatest and most sensitive Italian singer-songwriters, the Audio Two, Sagi Rei, Savio Vurchio, Giuliano Ciliberti and others.
