From The Italian Embassy Hanoi:
In the framework of Y Viet and on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Unification of Italy, the Embassy of Italy in Vietnam, presents “Dialektos”, a jazz concert performed by the famous Duo Maria Pia De Vito and Huw Warren, designed to give Vietnamese audience an insight on jazz Italian culture. “Dialektos” is a richly fruitful collaboration between the two musicians, playing as it does to their mutual love of folk roots, energetic rhythms and strong melodies.

Italian jazz and classical singer composer and arranger, Maria Pia De Vito is one of the most original figures on the Italian jazz scene. She has worked with visual artists, choreographers, and musicians such as John Taylor, Kenny Wheeler, Miroslav Vitous, Joshua Redman, and Italian Enrico Rava e Paolo Fresu. In 2008 and 2009 she has won the Critics Top Jazz Award as best singer, and in 2009 she has also won the critics award for her record ‘Mind in Gap’, as best international production. In 2010 The magazine ‘Jazz It’ elected her as best Italian singer.

Pianist and composer Huw Warren never ceases to amaze as an intriguing and thrilling musician and composer. The Winner of this year highly coveted BBC Jazz Award for innovation; Huw has established an international presence in recent years, as a musical director/pianist for contemporary folk diva June Tabor for well over a decade, and for his ongoing work with ex-Austrian Musician of the Year bassist Peter Herbert and NY violin virtuoso improviser Mark Feldman.

Dialektos is a richly fruitful collaboration between the two musicians, playing as it does to their mutual love of folk roots, energetic rhythms and strong melodies. Its cultural fulcrum is the southern Italian city of Naples, whose popular songs the virtuosic but earthy De Vito has celebrated on previous recordings. Despite the Neapolitan emphasis, much of the performance is sung by De Vito in a mix of scat, vocalize and human beat box, a style which allows her talent for exuberant rhythmic improvisation to flourish unmediated by the need to deliver a lyric. This is a strikingly beautiful and transporting voice-based jazz concert which communicates through rhythm and melody rather than language.
