Angelo Branduardi in Basel

Angelo Branduardi is an Italian singer-songwriter, composer and violinist, born in 1950 in Cuggiono. His folk-rooted songs draw on medieval and Renaissance music, while his classical violin training shapes their melodies and arrangements. He is best known for albums including Alla fiera dell'est, La pulce d'acqua and Cogli la prima mela, and for songs such as “La serie dei numeri” and “Ballo in fa diesis minore.” In 1980, Angelo Branduardi documented his stage repertoire on the live album Concerto. The performances place his voice, violin and guitar within an ensemble setting and revisit the songs that established his medieval-tinged folk sound. Angelo Branduardi returned to concert recordings on Camminando camminando.
