Italian alt-folk duo Ilaria Graziano and Francesco Forni will make their Canadian debut this November at Mundial Montréal, North America’s world music summit. They are the first Italians to be invited to showcase at this prestigious event. With just a guitar, a ukulele and two voices they have their roots in folk and blues, singing in English, French and Spanish as well as in their native Italian. Their sound can’t easily be placed into any musical context. “Both of us learned by listening and playing different genres of music, coming together artistically enabled us to share these influences,” Forni and Graziano explain. “We have chosen to filter all of these elements using only voice and guitar and a few other tools to add colour and other languages depending on the emotions we want to communicate.”
