Arisa in Teramo with her “Ero Romantica

TERAMO – The tour of Arisa and his “Ero Romantica-Little Summer tour”, organized by International Music and Arts and around Italy with a full calendar of dates. Accompanied by Giuseppe (Gioni) Barbera on the piano and by Jason Rooney at the console, the highly anticipated artist will be on the stage set up in Piazza Martiri della Libertà on Thursday 14 July at 9.30 pm. A unique event, organized by Riccitelli and included among the events of Teramo Natura Indomita. In a surprising alternation between melancholy love ballads and unbridled 90s dance rhythms, vocal acrobatics and rap phrasing, Arisa presents for the first time live the new album “Ero Romantica”, a record poised between romanticism and an urgent need for freedom, carnality and spirituality, a dualism already expressed by the separation in two blocks between the wildest and most electronic songs and the slowest and most sentimental ones, as in an ideal side A and side B. Eleven tracks proposed, an act of love towards humanity in its various facets and, above all, a celebration of femininity with all its contradictions, to talk about female self-determination and voluntary slavery, shouting the need to change point of view so as not to be crushed by standardization. In addition to “Agua de coco” there will be singles in the lineup that anticipated the album such as “Could you do more”, “Psycho”, “Swings”, “Heart”. The hits that made Arisa known to the general public are unmissable: “Sincerità”, “Controvento” and “La Notte”.

Arisa made her debut in 2009, at the 59th edition of the Sanremo Festival in the New proposals category, when Rosalba Pippa, a young and shy girl with a 50s look and nerd glasses, introduces herself. “Sincerity”, the song with swing hints presented on that occasion, displaces everyone for its originality and for the particular voice of its interpreter. A stamp that immediately becomes unmistakable for everyone, a true artistic signature. “Sincerity” ranks first and also wins the Mia Martini Critics’ Award and the Casa Sanremo Assomusica Award. In the same year she was awarded as a “young revelation” by the Record Association on the occasion of the Wind Music Awards. “Sincerity” is also the title of her first studio album.

A star was born, one of the most original and most popular characters in the world of entertainment in Italy. Arisa was born, now an award-winning singer, author, actress and voice actress, writer, TV presenter and icon of light but often unconventional and provocative music, herald of body positive, loved and respected in queer and LGBT circles. Arisa has shown in recent years that she is an artist at 360 °, always, proudly, outside the box of her: chameleonic, eclectic, unpredictable, constantly ready to question herself and undermine the certainties of the public and critics. The awkward-looking young woman from the beginning now shows herself as a femme fatale in a sexy punk and bondage chic key. In between, twelve years of career, 4 gold and 7 platinum records, eleven participations in the Sanremo Festival, seven in the competition, three as a guest and one as a presenter alongside Emma Marrone and Carlo Conti. After “Sincerity” and the victory among the new proposals, she triumphs in 2014 with “Controvento” in the “Champions” category. In 2012 she ranks second with “La Notte”, one of her most intense pieces of hers certified triple platinum.

Judge for three editions of X Factor, he has written two books and has demonstrated his musical eclecticism also through the collaboration with different artists such as Mauro Pagani, Cristina Donà, Club Dogo, Jose Feliciano, Tricarico, Giovanni Caccamo, Enzo Gragnaniello, Fedez and J -Ax, Takagi & Ketra, MYSS KETA, Lo Stato Sociale, Tony Hadley of Spandau Ballet, Cristina D’Avena, Alberto Urso, Gigi D’Alessio. There are countless authors who have written for her but if there is anyone who has often been at her side over the years it is Giuseppe Anastasi, author of many successes of the Lucanian artist. He has released seven studio albums – Sincerità (2009), Malamorenò (2010), Amami (2012), Se vedo te (2014), Looking at the sky (2015), Una nuova Rosalba in città (2019), Ero Romantica (2021) – a live album and two collections, collecting fourteen awards and two nominations for the Silver Ribbons.

Irresistible voice for beloved characters from world-famous animated films, she has starred in five films for directors such as Ricky Tognazzi, Alessandro Genovesi and Neri Parenti. Among the most courted artists on Italian TV, she took part for two editions in one of the most followed Italian television programs, Amici di Maria De Filippi, and as a competitor of the Rai Uno program conducted by Milly Carlucci Dancing under the stars where she ranked in first place with the dancer Vito Coppola. In February she participates as a judge in the Masked Singer.

In March 2022 she flies to Beijing to sing the Mameli anthem at the closing ceremony of the Paralympics of the Beijing 2022 Winter Games. A central figure of Italian song, Arisa’s fame crossed national borders when she performed at the Master Theater in New York as the representative of Italy for the eleventh edition of the Italian Music Festival but also in Tokyo and Kuwait. Everyone recognizes her rare human sensitivity towards social issues, evidenced among other things by her commitment to the children of Haiti, her candidacy for the Amnesty Italia Award and her participation in the concert in favor of the Abruzzese citizens affected by the 2009 earthquake; in 2021 she was the godmother of Gay Pride in Naples. In April you gave a benefit concert at the Teatro Lirico in Milan in favor of the Ukrainian population, organized by the Francesca Rava Foundation to respond to the urgent requests of hospitals affected by the war. She inaugurated in the role of godmother the XV edition of Padova Pride Village, the great Italian LGBTQI + Festival founded by Alessandro Zan and was crowned “Queen of Music” at the Mix Festival in Milan.

Numbered seats. More than 600 tickets sold. The last ones are still available on CiaoTickets and in the Riccitelli offices until 12 noon on Thursday, then directly on site before the concert.
