Sacro e Profano is a musical journey through time, languages and styles, inspired by an intriguing blend of italian bel canto and international jazz culture.
This duo is by no means a minimal ensemble, thanks to the ingenious research of different guitar timbres conjuring up an almost orchestral sense of depth and richness: hence, the "3D Guitar" brand.
Simona and Paolo have been extensively touring Italy together, clocking up many a mile and developing their Jazz and Swing expertise throughout the years. Swinging, no pun intended, from timeless standards to latin bossa rhythms (with a touch of cuban), their heartfelt fascination with italian author’s songs remains nevertheless palpable.
Sacro e Profano is the musical product of two creative minds, two skilled professionals revisiting and mashing up songs from different eras and styles, blending them together in a new, unique language.
It is a life entirely devoted to music set forth with thorough enjoyment, for an exciting journey into sound.
Sacro e Profano is the natural result of his intensive live touring with Simona Grasso, playing the most important italian venues and festivals: from Milan’s Blue Note to SHG Milan, SHG Naples, Sarzana’s Acoustic Meeting, Guitar Beyond and Disma Music Italy Show in Bologna.
Repertori:
Swing americano: i classici ed intramontabili evergreen americani (Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Gershwin).
Cool instrumental: sottofondo strumentale blues, swing e latin, ideale per accompagnare aperitivi e brunch.
Bossanova brasiliana: i coinvolgenti ritmi brasiliani, alternati alla delicatezza e al calore della bossa di Jobim, Mendes e altri grandi autori del genere ('The Girl From Ipanema', 'Mas Que Nada', 'Wave').
Italian Style: gli standard italiani, grandi classici rivisitati in chiave swing e gipsy. Un viaggio nostalgico dell'Italia di un tempo, con i motivetti non considerati evergreen, ma conosciuti da tutti ('Tulipan', 'Pippo Non Lo Sa', 'Ma le Gambe').
Musica d'autore: grandi autori e intramontabili classici, che hanno reso famosa la melodia italiana nel mondo (Mina, Tenco, Modugno).
