Nineties punk, Italian singer-songwriters, and even the internationally renowned Italian artist Dellera: this is the rich musical program awaiting the weekend at Cousinà Late Show, a Cagliari venue located at Corso Vittoro Emanuele 178. After a short summer break in August, Cousinà returns to offer the intimate and convivial concerts for which it was already known, preceded by a first date on September 5th with the German duo Prima.
On Friday evening, September 19th, we kick off at 9:30 PM with Bologna's Inerdzia, a historic Italian punk band formed in 1995 and which has toured Europe, sharing the stage with the great Skunk Anansie, the 1977-year-old UK Subs, and the pioneers The Business. With raw street sounds and an energetic, angry imagery in true Italian Oi! style, the quintet is back after a ten-year hiatus, releasing the single "Marinai" last year. The concert will conclude with a DJ set by Kambo.
On Saturday 20th, the event starts at 8.30pm, with the guitar and vocal duo Radionotte offering acoustic reinterpretations of Italian singer-songwriter music .
Marco Duò and Nicola Fara began their collaboration two years ago, offering a series of house concerts in which music and spoken word alternate to highlight the lyrics and their meaning, in a repertoire that spans the great Italian music of yesterday and today, with a lighthearted yet sensitive tone.
The grand finale is scheduled for Sunday : after opening with the folk singer-songwriter Mark Grace—a Canadian artist but naturalized Sardinian and currently working on his new album "Home"—it's Roberto Dell'Era's turn. A name that resonates in the Italian music industry, thanks to his decades-long stint as bass player in Afterhours and his collaborations with Le Vibrazioni and Diego Mancino, as well as those with Calibro 35, Daniele Silvestri, and Dente.
Dellera also boasts a substantial discography, well-regarded both in Italy and abroad, both in the bands he founded, such as Love Trip, Solarflares, and The Winstons (formed in 2016), and as a solo artist, releasing albums and soundtracks. To close the evening, Dellera and Mark Grace will perform together in a new acoustic performance.
