Rhythm, melody and harmony are the essential elements of a magic weave of notes, sounds and languages that different peoples and cultures are connected in unique embrace . “Blues, Swing & Folk for the integration of European cultures”, is the title of the musical event sponsored by Futuro Digitale that it will take place on 28th of August 2016 in the beautiful medieval square Vittorio Emanuele III in Terranova da Sibari.
The music, since its origins, appears as the universal tool for a deeper communication between ipeople and societies, able to contaminate through the culture place, periods and traditions, becoming a natural bridge of dialogue that can eliminate the differences.
The European dimension is essential to the concept of musical culture, even within Erasmus programme, where you can learn, discover, live and to be experienced socio-cultural of music, rituals, feasts, of people of different countries and traditions, becoming an essential tool for reciprocal knowledge and enrichment.
