Visceral Blues

Musical Corners Press

A raw, atmospheric plunge into root music, where foundational rhythm and blues becomes a volatile vehicle for deep, sweat-soaked vocal expression.

On the occasion of the concert in Bibbiena at the Angoli Musicali Festival, we present the official press review written by music critic Mauro Biserni. The piece provides an insightful overview of the trio's uncompromising rock-blues dimension and the distinctive artistic energy that defined this live date. The complete article, multimedia documentation, and event archive materials are available below.

"For fans of the most visceral rock-blues, Angoli Musicali presents the Romina Daniele Band. There is a great deal to say about Romina Daniele—a thrilling vocalist, poet, and musicologist born in Naples and based in Milan—starting with her pioneering vocal and electronic experimentation project, which earned her various awards, including the international prize dedicated to the great Demetrio Stratos.

The lineup she brings to Bibbiena is deeply rooted in the heavy traditions of blues and rhythm and blues, operating at a high level of raw, smoke-and-alcohol-fueled intensity. It is precisely in the club and pub circuits that this band is highly demanded; you would do well to show up right in front of the stage with a beer to offer the musicians—part of it will serve as fuel, and the rest will be transformed directly into sweat. The repertoire features an extensive, bottomless pit of blues classics, masterfully spanning from Bessie Smith to Janis Joplin." (Mauro Biserni)

Event Details:

• Act: Romina Daniele Band / Acoustic Trio

• Festival: Angoli Musicali Festival (Bibbiena, IT)

• Date: August 30, 2014

• Repertoire: Classic Blues, Rhythm & Blues (Bessie Smith to Janis Joplin era)

"Romina Daniele is not just an experimenter who distorts the voice with electronic manipulations; with the Romina Daniele Band, she presents a more popular synthesis and reinterpretation of the African-American musical tradition—more specifically blues, rhythm and blues, and rock-blues. Even in this role, her voice transmits thrilling vibrations and she knows how to compete on equal footing with sacred monsters such as Bessie Smith or Janis Joplin. Her band finds its most ideal humus in breweries and pubs, but we are convinced that the space located in the Passage of San Francesco will be just right for her and she will know how to warm it up properly. Accompanying her in her descent into Bibbiena are Luca Caiazza on bass and Luca De Maio on guitars." (Mauro Biserni)
