9891 The Name Behind The Voice,

Vinicio Capossela. I had heard the voice before on Radio Italia - ([url=http://www.radioitalia.it]www.radioitalia.it[/url]) which really irritated me but didn't know who he was until now. I saw a concert advertised that he is giving at The Italian Institute, New York then googled for a Youtube video.

From the advert "Calling himself an "enchanter," Mr. Capossela, one of the cleverest and most eccentric musicians in Italy, spins enigmatic fantasies of both skid row Americana and mythological Italy in a grittily elegant cabaret-jazz style that recalls Tom Waits and Paolo Conte" by The New York Times

Like a mystical cross between Tom Waits and John Cleese, Capossela limns a wry, topsy-turvy musical universe...he is known for captivating theatrical performancesThe New Yorker
by The New Yorker"

Ah so no I don't think I'll be going. Anyone here like the guy's music???

You wont be going to the concert because it's in New York, because you don't understand the lyrics or don't like this style?

As I said before my post above was deleted as being a personal insult for some reason, no, you only said you were irritated. :nah:
