For his latest appointment, Popular Helvetica - the exhibition of the Swiss Institute of Rome dedicated to the relationship between popular culture and music - back to think about the concept of folk music and how it continues to reinvent itself.
Different geographical reality - Switzerland, Italy, but also the United Kingdom and Portugal - all united by belonging to one of the most vibrant undergrowth of the 2000s: that of the so-called new culture weird, aesthetics capable of mixing experimentation and taste for the eccentric, arcane, naive, in close relation to those languages that criticism has cataloged the item outsider.

Simon Green aka BONOBO ieri sera a Roma alla Città dell'Altra Economia, con un live dal vivo che sta facendo sold out in tutta Europa. Contaminazioni jazz, dub e soul nel suo quinto album "The North Borders", dal vivo suoni elettronici preparati in studio, accompagnati da un pianista, un chitarrista, un sassofonista, strumenti a corda, effetti elettronici e batteria e la voce celestiale di Bajka, Bonobo al basso.
Closing evening of Saturday, for the Villa Aperta festival in the beautiful setting of Villa Medici.
On stage: Gesaffelstein, Brodinski, Links and The Hacker.
Mike Levy aka Gesaffelstein ended the evening with his dark and almost hardcore sounds, inspired by 90's techno. The electronic dark of the 14 tracks on the "Aleph" album were accompanied by an interesting visual part, beautiful lights and as usual, beautiful and stylish him.
Same label (Bromance) and same stage for Brodinski which anticipated the Gesaffeilstein's live with his techno full of rap contamination.
