Italian rock band Marcondiro, founded in Rome in 2009 by Marco Borrelli, will be performing their artistic project "Primitive Robot" in Tunis on Thursday, October 1st, at 8pm on the stage of L'Agora in La Marsa. The concert will feature Valerio Cesarini and Tunisian musician Ziad Trabelsi. This event is part of the 34th edition of the Sete Sóis Sete Luas Festival, an international manifestation that promotes dialogue between Mediterranean countries and the Lusophone world through music and culture.
The Sete Sóis Sete Luas Festival has been promoting cultural exchange for over thirty years. In Tunis, it takes the form of an artistic encounter that goes beyond a simple concert, bringing together different languages, origins, and sensitivities. The festival provides an international platform for cultural exchange, which has become its identity. Marcondiro's performance will be a significant part of this event, showcasing their unique blend of music and narrative.
"Primitive Robot" is a project that explores the tension between two seemingly opposing dimensions: the primitive and the technological. This contradiction becomes the foundation for Marcondiro's music and narrative, questioning the contemporary human's relationship with their origins, machines, and an ever-changing reality. The addition of Ziad Trabelsi and Valerio Cesarini will bring a new dimension to the project, creating a unique sound that blends different traditions.
The concert in Tunis will be a space for cultural exchange, where Marcondiro's vision and writing will meet other sounds and traditions. The event will showcase the diversity of Mediterranean cultures and the ability of music to bring people together. Marcondiro emphasizes that performing in Tunis is an opportunity to take "Primitive Robot" out of its comfort zone and engage with a new culture and way of experiencing music.
Marcondiro's Marco Borrelli highlights the significance of the Mediterranean as a space where identities meet, mix, and evolve. He believes that performing with Ziad and Valerio as part of the Sete Sóis Sete Luas Festival is a perfect example of this movement. The festival's focus on cultural circulation, original creation, and intercultural encounters aligns with Marcondiro's artistic vision.
The Sete Sóis Sete Luas Festival, created 34 years ago, has become an international cultural network that promotes artistic exchange and original creation. The Tunisian leg of the festival offers "Primitive Robot" a new international dimension, consistent with the project's nature: using music as a space for seemingly distant identities to recognize, transform, and create something new.
The concert will mark a new chapter in Marcondiro's journey, as they continue to push the boundaries of their music and artistic expression. With "Primitive Robot," Marcondiro aims to create a unique sound that resonates with audiences from different cultural backgrounds. The event in Tunis will be a testament to the power of music to bring people together and foster cultural understanding.
