<p>&quot;It was a day in a time in 1996&nbsp;when I heard a voice, a musical stroke, a tone of luminosity and style that immediately touched me.&nbsp;<em>Antonello Salis !</em></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Later on he came to play at the&quot;Jazz in Calvi&quot; festival and all the merry troupe stayed on my invitation at&nbsp;our&nbsp;Casa Musicale in&nbsp;Pigna. It was my first meeting with Salis.&nbsp;Many years later, in 2014 exactly, we were on stage together to create the show &quot;7 modi&quot;, directed by Stefano Cocco Cantini. His relationship to sound, musical effervescence, instant imaginative creation and complicity&nbsp;fascinated me.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Antonio told me&nbsp;&quot;facciamo qualcosa insieme noi due&quot;. I took it at the word and the idea of ​​a duet between this great and singular pianist accordionist improviser and my musical landscape enchanted me. We decided then to create a repertoire between creative improvisations, some pieces of my composition and the reinterpretation of traditional Corsican songs.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The paths of an unknown music that then becomes common and isochronic, as if our memories and our sources were part of the same story&nbsp;and the same time! The&nbsp;single body&nbsp;of a child on the edge of an island, barefoot on the ground, watching the sea dreaming of the journey&quot;.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>J&eacute;r&ocirc;me Casalonga</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Great Sardinian accordionist and&nbsp;pianist <strong>Antonello Salis</strong> and singer, instrumentalist and composer <strong>J&eacute;r&ocirc;me Casalonga</strong> have decided to do&nbsp;a&nbsp;duet in which they will mix&nbsp;their&nbsp;musical landscapes, between creative improvisations, tracks composed by J&eacute;r&ocirc;me Casalonga and new interpretations of traditional Corsican songs.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>A creative&nbsp;meeting of two vibrant musicians, walking together into the unknown towards a joint and isochronous&nbsp;music.</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img width="100%" alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/495939/JC-540pxl-1520948520.jpeg" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Based in Pigna, a little Corsican village and cultural hub in the Northwest of the wild and mysterious &ldquo;Island of Beauty&rdquo;,&nbsp;J&eacute;rome Casalonga is a composer, singer&nbsp;and instrumentalist.
