Giri, the Godfather of Italian Lounge is back, with his Amici, paying homage to the great Italian Cantautori from the 1950s and 60s. This time no song is safe! You’ll be left wondering .. wasn’t that an English song? .. where did these songs come from? .. what will my Mamma say? Lounge and swing about to start, then get ready to Tar-Rhumba! Giri’s Amici include Steve Shier (percussion), Adrian Ferraretto (cello) and Angel Manzella (vocals), Alessia Grillenzoni (harmonica) and maybe a special guest or two. Franco Parrella (guitar and vocals) is Giri!
