Award winning jazz vocalist, lyricist and theatre director Filomena Campus is joined by her fellow Sardinian star Gavino Murgia.

Award winning jazz vocalist, lyricist and theatre director Filomena Campus returns to PizzaExpress Jazz Club, this time joined by her fellow Sardinian star Gavino Murgia. Campus’ quartet presents new tunes from their forthcoming project ‘Queen Mab’ to be released in 2017 and a tribute to Brazilian masters and to Sardinian music tradition. Music by Steve Lodder and Dudley Phillips, lyrics by Filomena Campus. 

Campus’ performance is a passionate and ironic exploration of the role of the jazz singer, inspired by Commedia dell’ Arte, Shakespeare, Theatre of the Absurd and Sardinian culture. 

Gavino Murgia is a truly astonishing vocalist and instrumentalist, whose rich and resonant throat singing evokes the landscape and traditions of his native Sardinia.
