Their first appearance in Sardinia is for the 28th edition of the Abbabula festival , organized by the Le Ragazze Terribili cooperative. On July 23, NU GENEA LIVE BAND , the band that has redefined the Mediterranean aesthetic with a disco-funk twist, will be coming to Sassari, in Piazza Università.

Massimo Di Lena and Lucio Aquilina—known as NU GENEA—have transformed their musical vision into a true exploration of the cultural stratifications of the Mediterranean. This perspective stems from careful research into the sources, traditions, and "sonic echoes" that have washed up on the coasts of Naples over time. This approach is understood not simply as a geographical origin, but as a place where languages, identities, and influences overlap.

Their aesthetic draws on historical materials and hidden repertoires, reworked through electronica, funk, disco, dub, world-groove and Afro-beat, in an approach that combines acoustic instruments, synthesizers and rhythm sections in a contemporary synthesis of timbres.

After more than ten years of artistic partnership and numerous performances in international contexts - including the Louvre Museum, Australia and Brazil - the Sassari stop represents an inevitable meeting : an opportunity to hear NU GENEA in their current live dimension, through the songs that have marked their evolution, the recent single Sciallà and new, exciting surprises.
