A young seven piece outfit from Bologna with an effervescent performance style. Mixing Latin rhythms with Swing, Ska and good ol' rock 'n roll, they are loud, communicative and bustling with physical and musical energy. Drums, bass and keyboards, and a driving horn and wind section, fronted by the lively form of singer Laura Tibaldi.
There's hardly a lull in the whole gig, with only a couple of slower numbers in which to draw breath. For the rest of the time there's half the audience up dancing, the rest moving their hands and feet and bodies. It's impossible not be drawn into the spirit of the music, or to enjoy the on stage choreography (the two sax players being particularly entertaining).
Underlying this activity is a solid bass of talent, well drilled and and ensemble that creates some lovely interplay and delivers a few decent solos. There's a good studio band in there, but on stage it's the act that's the thing, that and getting their audience with them. It's an exhilarating experience and ninety minutes flashed by.
