CASTRIGNANO DE’ GRECI – The appointment with the Kascignana festival, organized by Municipality of Castrignano dei Greci (Le) in collaboration with ARCI Lecce Cooperativa Sociale. Special guest on August 15th will be Manu Chao, with a free concert, the only stop in Puglia, organized in collaboration with Molly Arts. The event will take place at the Unicef “Alan Kurdi” Gardens (Pozzelle local road).
The Kascignana Festival is one of the actions of the macro project “Contemporary Village”, funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU, with an opening on the village for contemporary arts, sustainable and inclusive aimed at enhancing tradition grika as a bridge for dialogue and international comparison. After last year’s success with i Planet Funk and Meg, in the most attended edition ever, the concert of August 15th of Kascignana aims to be the final moment of a journey made of art, meetings and music; and it will be Manu Chao himself, with his overwhelming rhythm, in an acoustic concert, who will crown the new edition.
Rights, peace and brotherhood: the artist’s texts contemplate the same direction as a festival that for years has focused its attention on themes that embrace hospitality and solidarity. The same vision that, over the years, the numerous artists who have followed one another on the stage of the Kascignana Festival have encapsulated: from Lo Stato Sociale to the Modena City Ramblers, passing through Subsonica, Zen Circus and Marlene Kuntz. A free concert in which there will be no shortage of the “classic” notes of one of the most loved artists of all time, Manu Chao who will share his songs with the public, from Clandestino to Desaparecido to many others from his repertoire, whose timeless sounds are capable of crossing any border.
