(Due Zighi Baci)
Specializing in Italian and Neapolitan canzone, Zighi Baci (Two Gypsy Kisses) works its charm and whisks you away to magical, faraway places like the old dance halls, cafes, and salons of Rome and Naples. This dynamic duo promises to transport you with their authentic, enchanting renditions of popular European salon and café music dating back to the 1850s. Whether it's Verdi, E. de Curtis, C.A. Bixio, Mudogno, E.A. Mario, or Paolo Francesco Tosti, you will fall in love with these timeless, sentimental, and artful arrangements true to the composers' intent. Two Gypsy Kisses adds its unique style and panache to every song. www.EuroCafeMusic.com
