Surf rock! now in Bellinzona Vintage Motors!
They are four musicians who come from different musical experiences, and background, who have always loved SHADOWS Sound. Inspired by the style and music of the legendary English group of the early 60s, THE SHADOWS, they held concerts all over the country (Naples-Milan-Ancona-Rome-Rimini-Modena-Como) and also abroad (Germany).
In 2008 they made a series of concerts together with the Italian Rai orchestra conducted by Maestro Diego Basso. They had the honor of playing with Ronnie Gustafsson, Swedish guitarist, one of the greatest European interpreters of the Shadows Sound. Over time their repertoire has expanded to other styles by including pieces of Dire Straits and classic Country. In Bellinzona, their friend and great guitarist Gianni Pippa has always been a faithful interpreter of the music of the Shadows.
In this occasion they will also perform together with Lorenzo Tanner, country guitarist with several albums published and very well known in the north of Italy.
Line up for VMB: Gianni Pippa, Luciano Bottos, Gildo Salton, Bruno Schiavon, Gianni Cauda, Lorenzo Tanner.
“Vintage Motors, Bellinzona is also into charity!
After a careful analysis, we decided to support the non-profit initiative of the Lions Club Monteceneri "Water is life", which goal is bringing water to the poorer regions of the world. We support the initiative by selling bottles of Water, "Water is Life" during the event and contributing CHF 1 for every participating vehicles at Vintage Motors, Bellinzona.
Water shortages still hit too many areas of the world and millions of people in absolute poverty. The highest toll is paid by children, suffering a very high mortality rate. Selling water "Water is Life" the Lions Club Monteceneri has succeeded in helping over 10,000 people in 11 years by funding water wells, pumps and filters, pipes and fountains.
The Bottles "Water is Life" contain water that flows from a pure source at the foot of Mount Tamaro; It’s the lightest in Switzerland and among the three best waters in Europe. The water is slightly mineralized and pleasantly sparkling, by adding carbon dioxide. It is bottled in two comfortable sizes of 100 cl and 50 cl. "Water is Life" is a product of Canton Ticino, your region: by consuming a local product, you preserve the surrounding environment.
