Davide Ambrogio is a singer and multi-instrumentalist. After having won the Loano Giovani Prize together with the Duo Bottasso and Elsa Martin with the Linguamadre project (presented at the FolkClub in October 2020) and having achieved the Musica contro le Mafie and Ethnos Gener / Actions 2020 as a soloist, he presents the album d debut Evocations and Invocations. Already included in the Transglobal Music Chart and in the World Music Chart Europe, the album was awarded by Songlines Magazine for the Top of The World Album in November. The disc is the result of a work that recovers the multiple functions of singing, capable of translating a vocal expression linked to the Calabrian Aspromontana oral tradition into contemporary sound elements. Just as in the music of oral tradition every song and every sound is manifested within a rite, each piece of the concert is linked to a specific function - from lullaby to protest song, from lament to conjuration. In the live, the Calabrian artist builds an immersive show around the voice through the use of lyre, guitar with pencils, frame drum, zumpettana, bagpipe and live electronics. In the timbre, melodic and rhythmic research, the show tells an intimate and current truth, capable of evoking different suggestions in the present.
Davide Ambrogio was born in 1990 in Cataforìo, a small fraction of Reggio Calabria. In 2011 he moved to Rome where he embarked on a path of academic and musical studies, collaborating with various artists and coming into contact with different realities, first of all Etnomusa, the popular music orchestra of La Sapienza in Rome.
