Virtual Féile International Night Concert - Ceolchoirm Idirnáisiúnta

Banda Bassotti is an Italian ska-punk band formed in 1981 in Rome, Italy. Their songs, political in nature, focus on Communist, social, working class, anti-Fascist, and anticorruption issues. They were inspired by socially engaged punk and ska bands, in particular The Clash and The Specials. They have travelled extensively around the world and now to Ireland ‘virtually’ with Féile 2020!

Xabi Solano Maiza and Special Guests. Musician and composer Xabi Solano Maiza is renowned in his homeland and further afield as founder of some of the most exciting bands to come out of the Basque Country including Etzakit and Esne Beltza. He has also toured extensively with Fermín Muguruza since 2004. He is an accomplished player of the ‘trikitilari’, an ancient Basque instrument, and we are delighted that Xabi is bringing these organic Basque sounds to Ireland.

Ovidi5 is a musical homage to Ovidi Montllor, a Catalan singer-songwriter and actor, who passed away in 1995. The Catalan band’s music reflects social, cultural, the Catalan language and political issues, and is a blend of folk music and poetry.

Brame Di Corsica are a Corsican traditional music group fronted by Michel Cacciaguerra. They have been writing and singing songs in support of oppressed people on a local and international stage for over 40 years.

Is banna ceoil ska-punc Iodálach Banda Bassotti a bunaíodh in 1981 sa Róimh san Iodáil. Díríonn a n-amhráin, a bhfuil nádúr polaitiúil acu, ar cheisteanna Cumannacha, sóisialta, an lucht oibre, frith-Fhaisisteacha agus frithchaimiléireachta. Bhí na bannaí ceoil punc agus ska, a bhí gafa le cúrsaí sóisialta, go háirithe The Clash agus The Specials, á spreagadh. Thaistil siad go forleathan ar fud an domhain agus beidh siad ‘go fíorúil’ in Éirinn anois in Féile 2020!

Xabi Solano Maiza agus Aíonna Speisialta. Is ceoltóir agus cumadóir Xabi Solano Maiza a bhfuil clú agus cáil air ina thír dhúchais móide i bhfad is i gcéin mar bhunaitheoir chuid de na bannaí ceoil iontacha le teacht ó Thír na mBascach, ina measc Etzakit agus Esne Beltza. Bhí sé ag déanamh camchuairte go forleathan le Fermín Muguruza ó 2004. Is sársheinnteoir an ‘trikitilari’ é, uirlis cheoil Bhascach ársa, agus tá an-áthas orainn go mbeidh Xabi ag seinm na n-amhrán orgánach Bascach seo in Éirinn.

Is ómós ceolmhar do Ovidi Montllor, an tamhránaí, an ceoltóir, an scríbhneoir amhrán agus an t-aisteoir Catalónach a fuair bás in 1995, Ovidi5. Léiríonn ceol an bhanna Chatalónaigh ceisteanna sóisialta, cultúrtha, na Catalóinise agus polaitiúla, agus is meascán de cheol tíre agus d’fhilíocht é.

Is grúpa ceoil thraidisiúnta na Corsaice Brame Di Corsica arb é Michel Cacciaguerra an príomhamhránaí é. Bhí siad ag scríobh agus ag ceol amhrán, a thacaíonn le daoine atá faoi chois, ar an ardán áitiúil agus idirnáisiúnta le breis agus 40 bliain anuas.
