Coming soon the new CD "Spaghetti alla Chitarra" - Raf Montrasio & Davide Facchini - a guitar tribute to Italian Songs "Hi everybody! I'm glad to be here sharing with all of you this wonderful art called Music!" Raf Montrasio was born in 1929 and he’s a guitar legend in Italy. He plays also mandolin, violin, piano and doublebass! He’s one of the fathers of electric guitar in Italy. In the Fifties he toured all around the world with Renato Carosone (a very popular singer and pianist, who wrote the famous "Tu vuo' fa l'Americano"). They played a mix of swing, rock’n’roll, Neapolitan traditional music, etc. They were one of the best band in Italy of last century! And they were the first pop group that played into Carnegie Hall of New York, in 1958! During the 50s they had concerts with Nat King Cole, Joao Gilberto, and many others; and they played at 'Perry Como' and 'Ed Sullivan Show' too. _________________________________________________________ "Ciao a tutti! Sono felice di essere qui a condividere con voi quest'arte meravigliosa chiamata Musica!" Raf Montrasio, classe 1929, è una leggenda della chitarra in Italia. Oltre alla chitarra non disdegna il mandolino, il violino, il contrabbasso e il pianoforte! Negli anni '50 ha suonato in tutto il mondo facendo parte dello storico sestetto di Renato Carosone. Nel 1958 l'orchestra di Carosone si è esibita alla Carnegie Hall di New York: il primo concerto nella storia di una "pop band" all'interno di questo prestigioso Teatro! Durante le loro numerose tournée hanno condiviso il palco con giganti della musica quali Nat King Cole, Joao Gilberto, e molti altri ancora; ed esibendosi in show televisivi come il "Perry Como Show" e l'"Ed Sullivan Show". |
