The Associazione Culture Del Mondo is pleased to present the second concert of our “Chords of Peace//Accordi di Pace” series on Friday 8th of April 2016, 19.00 hrs, at the Cappella Orsini, via di Grotta Pinta 21, in Campo di Fiori, Rome.
From January till May 2016, our concerts will bring together musicians and music from lands torn apart by conflict, in which the peaceful coexistence of its peoples faces many daunting obstacles. Our aim is to envision a world where through music, it is possible to dream of “chords of peace”, where music has the power to create peace. For our audience, the dialogue between notes, scales and harmony will be a new way to reflect on the subject of peace and reach a greater awareness of our common humanity.
Our concert on Friday 8th of April will bring together for the first time NANDO CITARELLA, a renowned musician and singer from Italy specializing in traditional Italian and Mediterranean folk music, and TCHA LIMBERGER, a famous Rom Manouche musician and singer from Belgium, specializing in manouche and folk music of the Carpathian Basin.
Reservations for the concert must be booked in advance. A donation of €15 is suggested, to enable us to cover the food and musicians’ expenses. An aperitivo with organic food and wines will be held before the concert.

Biographies:
Guitarist, violinist, composer, singer and expert player of several musical instruments, Tcha is one of the few world-class musicians to be accepted and respected in a musical genre that is not culturally his own. His international performances with his Transylvania Kalotaszeg Trio and Budapest Gypsy Orchestra and his approach to teaching almost-forgotten music traditions have made him one of the most important figures of the folk music from the Pannonian Plain (Hungary). This has earned Tcha unprecedented praise throughout the world, from professionals and audiences alike. Critics have widely acclaimed him as being “fully made of music” and the “polymath king of gypsy music”, while his fellow musicians speak of him as “the fifth element”.
