Portraits
BERTI BARBERA
You can tell about Berti Barbera that he is a cosmopolite musician. And this is not only because of his origin but because of his perspective upon music, through the variety of influences and elements that he perceives and creates in the art of performing. As any modern artist, he opens his ears and his soul to the stylistic diversity and to the multiple chances of rendering a play. With the credit of the great majority of the country’s music scene, finding himself into a permanent contact with international artistic personalities, he had the priviledge to be a part of the many projects that enrich his experience and justify his intentions. Being endowed with a flexible vocal range and with a rhythmic instinct which gives him the chance to use more percussion instruments, Berti succeeds in giving an original, spectacular and accessible form to any song he performs with a lot of passion , ease and humor.
NICU PATOI
You can rarely meet a guitar player as Nicu Patoi. He is an artist who unveils through his instrument, his character, education, passion and the joy of playing and who discretely provokes at the same time, the curiosity to find out the unseen parts of a complex artist. You never succeed in guessing the resources that he uses in order to accomplish his role as an excellent accompanist and session musician, an important member of all the bands he joined, from the rock attempts of his adolescence to the serious projects that he is being involved in at he present moment , including his own band. Despite the young guitar players’ tendencies of showing off their extreme technique and the digital stunts, Nicu is an artist who uses a multitude of skills in a subtle, well proportioned way, combining in balance the clarity of the chords with the moments of solo refinement, speed and feeling. A performer with a mathematician’s rigor and soul of an artist, who shines everytime he touches his guitar. |
