“Our impression is that the public still wants – is the comment of John de Leo and the Quintorigo – After the recent Mini Tour celebrating reconciliation, there are still those who write to us to want to see and listen to live. We do not pretend to understand what the reasons can be; In fact, another certain fact is that in addition to the loyal ones of the first hour we have also seen many young boys. Perhaps there are much more curious young people than they want to make us believe the algorithm.
Perhaps there is an audience, bigger than expected, which is not satisfied with the music conceived on the computer alone, who wants to hear music arranged and played in real time and perhaps even with unusual instrumentation. Is something changing something? They are hypotheses. Or only hopes. “

In the lineup, as well as extracts from “Toad” And “Grey”the two historical albums that have marked a fundamental stage of the Italian alternatives, also songs taken from “In captivity”the third album of the Quintorigo, perhaps the one that most played with the emulation of electronic patterns. On stage, the original formation: John de Leo (voice), Valentino Bianchi (Sax), Gionata Costa (Cello), Andrea Costa (violin) and Stefano Ricci (double bass).

They have always remained to any gender label, the Quintorigo embodied and embody that deliberately dissident spirit, indie ante litteram, the best synthesis between pop, rock, classic and jazz that could be desired.
