Antonio Forcione
Show Time 10:30pm - 12Midnight / Doors Open 10:00pm
Multi-award winning guitarist-composer Antonio Forcione releases his new album Sketches of Africa. Inspired by recent tours through the continent of Africa, the new album showcases his compositions with local musicians who, together, evoke a joyous, spiritually beguiling homage to a continent still going through immense change. His first album in five years, Sketches of Africa is eagerly awaited by the legion of fans Antonio has built up over twenty years of composing, performing and thrilling audiences with his dynamic talent.
“When Antonio Forcione plays guitar he becomes three people, Antonio the spiritual, Antonio the mental and Antonio the physical...watching this man play guitar is like seeing a Dante poem come alive before your eyes – all the laughter, madness, pain, love and ecstasy of the human condition is laid bare, flowing, from the tips of his fingers to the soles of his feet...” – Jazz London.
