(ANSA) - ROME, 13 APR - Carmen Consoli and one of the myths of music, Elvis Costello, join on tour.
Three unique dates that will see the two artists alternate and combine their voices and sounds on August 28 in Rome at the Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone (Cavea), on August 29 in Palermo at the Teatro di Verdura and on August 31 in Milan at the Castello Sforzesco.
The live will be a journey through the stages of their extraordinary careers full of successes and metamorphoses.
Pre-sales open on April 14th, at 2.00pm.
After all, already in 2006 Costello, in an interview with the New York Times immediately after a sold out concert in New York of the rock singer, had said: "She has more original ideas in a handful of pieces rather than some celebrated British or American bands in a whole concert".
But Costello is not the first international artist to appreciate Consoli who is close to his new European tour (departing April 19 from Brussels).
David Byrne had already chosen her to participate in his Meltdown Festival in 2015, while with Robert Plant he had shared the stage at the Lucca Summer Festival 2022, and now she is expected next July at Peter Gabriel's Womad Festival (July 29).
Carmen Consoli has a career studded with records (she was the first Italian artist to tread the stage of the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, the only Italian to participate in Ethiopia in the celebrations of the anniversary of Bob Marley's death, she performed as a headliner in Central Park, scored 3 sold outs in a row in New York, he founded his own label, he also brought Arabic and French into his songs,
she was the first woman in the long history of the prestigious Club Tenco to win the Targa Tenco as Best Album of the Year with "Elettra" and the first woman to play the role of Maestro Concertatore at the Notte della Taranta).
