August 28 – Mario Biondi in concert
Sun tour
Taormina Greek Theatre, 9.00pm
A warm, deep, sensual voice, yet clear and confident.
Mario Biondi is a singer and composer, born in Catania, Italy on 1971. His father Stefano Biondi was also a singer. Mario’s passion for music began at the early age of twelve when he sang in his church choir. His many musical experiences over time in Italy saw him develop more and more into an artist whose scope was destined to be of an international level.
With a voice that references greats like Barry White, Issac Hayes and Lou Rawls while at the same time giving his own spin to the soul and jazz genres, Mario Biondi makes music passionately while at the same time, lighthearted and ironic.
