Alla Boara - Live @ WAYO (4/14/24)

Cleveland-based Italian folk ensemble Alla Boara (@alla_boara on IG, www.allaboara.com) joined us in-studio at WAYO for a live session on Sunday 4/14/24 hosted by WAYO DJ Matty SK of The Night Cap (Sundays 11pm-midnight). We were so glad that they were able to stop by the studio on their tour ahead of their show at Lovin' Cup later that day. The group's performance featured Anthony Taddeo as composer + percussion, Amanda Powell on lead vocal, Dan Bruce on guitar, Ian Kinnaman on bass, Tommy Lehman on trumpet and flugelhorn, and Yarina Sarenska on violin.
From Alla Boara's website: "Alla Boara celebrates the deep history of human music-making by cultivating fresh sounds from the ancient roots of regional Italian folk songs. Amanda Powell’s impassioned vocals burst with the drama and humor of Italian life propelled by drummer and ensemble founder Anthony Taddeo. The storytelling behind this daring ensemble is intoxicating and has the dazzling soloing of a veteran jazz ensemble to Taddeo’s imaginative re-composition of these ancient songs, many of which have disappeared in a tide of modernity."
