Two evenings of ethnic and world music. Two contrasting offerings, yet united by their musical freshness. The 31st edition of Ittiritmi has the theme "Mestizaje - No culture is an island." Mixing people, exchanging cultures and music, engaging in a dialogue with diverse sounds that often evoke shared memories. This is the goal of the international festival curated by the Ittiri Pro Loco and the Mela Bacata association.
On Friday, August 7th, Albanian musical duo Shkodra Elektronike , who blend Shkodra's tradition with contemporary electronic music, will represent Albania at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025. Next up is Alghero-born artist Davide Casu , who combines music, poetry, and visual arts in a journey rich in cross-pollination.
On Saturday, August 8th, the spotlight will be on Ivorian Dobet Gnahoré , a singer-songwriter and dancer who won the 2010 Grammy Award for Best Urban/Alternative Performance. She will be accompanied by three musicians. Her performance was squeezed into international commitments. The evening will close with Matteo Leone , a singer-songwriter from Calasetta who sings in Tabarchino. He won the 2021 Parodi Prize.
Both evenings will begin at 9:30 pm. Admission is free.
