Guided by a quartet of atypical instruments (accordion, sackbut, guitar, percussion) and Gregorian chant, fandango or tarantella, Vita Bella lies at the crossroads of early, traditional and improvised music, following a singular route: from Spain to the Balkans, from the Mediterranean to Japan, this French quartet baulks at no popular melody in its endeavour to surprise its audience. A heritage devoted to poetry, a journey that explores the variety, power and richness of melodies that will bring back memories that move us.
