Andragathos
Andragathos – ‘Nduja connection, terza opera narrativa di Danilo Sidari dopo le raccolte di racconti Schizophrenia migrantis (2012) e Liguritudine (2015), è un dosato mix di creatività e di accurata ricerca documentale, che attraverso uno sguardo smaliziato, lucido, a tratti ironico, pone l’attenzione del lettore su un universo - quello della criminalità organizzata - e sulle sue diramazioni simili a tentacoli. Tentacoli che partono da un qualsiasi paesino aspromontano e si allungano fino a raggiungere una metropoli australiana e da qui, con continui rimbalzi geografici, si estendono fino a includere intere nazioni dislocate nei cinque continenti costituendo, di fatto, una rete globale del crimine.
“…If you like Italian vintage red wine and dream in black and white, then you can’t
afford to miss Mocambo Jam’s Australian performances.”

Mocambo Jam
Legendary Italian crooner Paolo Conte’s idiosyncratic compositions are beautifully rendered by Mocambo Jam. The Sydney-based trio of Italian-born musicians – Danilo Sidari, vocals, Mauro Colombis, piano, Carlo Grana, guitar – effortlessly manages to breathe new life into Conte’s timeless classics such as 60’s anthem “Azzurro” and 1981 uptempo masterpiece “Via Con Me (It’s Wonderful)”. Sidari’s gruff and understated approach is perfectly complemented by the musical prowess of Colombis and Grana. If you like Italian vintage red wine and dream in black and white, then you can’t afford to miss Mocambo Jam’s Australian performances.”
