De Italianen
No Dutch Required Live Act from Wonka Podia
The Italians are four gallant young men from Napoli in the Netherlands. Their mission? To make the Mediterranean sun shine at festivals, parties and other events through music and theater.
As walking street theater, they are obliging where they have to be and cheeky where they can be, but always upbeat and charming. Contact with their audience is always central. With well-known and lesser known Italian repertoire, an acoustic guitar and polyphonic singing, they caress your ears and warm your heart. Full of ardor and bravura, they alternate elated songs and romantic ballads with brave - but sometimes hopeless - attempts at seduction.
