Joe’s live performance get the folk popular music revive in the classic and authorial pop music of the Italian chansonniers and vice versa. The repertoire includes songs written and arranged for his first album entitled “Rockammorra” (Gente Strana, Ciro e Giuvann’, Emergenza Sos, etc.), songs by Italian and foreign songwriters (Redemption Song, Bocca di Rosa, Ma il cielo è sempre più blu, etc.), and songs taken from the southern Italy folk tradition (Canto sul Tamburo, Pizzicarella, Bella Figliola, etc.).
One music ingredient is common to all the arrangement: the fusion of the popular folk southern Italy music to rock music elements.
In the show live performance of the song “Vesuvius” e “Ciro e Giuvann’ ” are executed along with the video projection of their respective videoclips. The show can last as long as two hours. The aim is to entertain and drag the audience into the rhythms of the traditional music, which takes a therapeutic other than entertaining function, a way to leave behind troubles and pain of every days life. In particular, the tammurriata is expression of the rural tradition and represents a break out of the frenetic life style imposed by our society.
Just to sum up: “Let’s come together, let’s bring with you your tamorra drums and so much will to dance”. Positive energy of each one will be as one withe everyone else’s energy thanks to the rhythm.
