Maria Pia De Vito + Huw Warren present 'O Pata Pata'

Maria Pia de Vito - voice/electronics
Huw Warren - piano

A rare London appearance by one of Italy's most highly regarded singers, with in a project that sees her perform with Welsh pianist Warren. Having been performed to ecstatic reviews across Europe and further afield, O Pata Pata blends original music, Neapolitan lyrics, high energy improvisation with deeply emotional songs.

They have recorded 2 albums on the Parco Della Musica label Dialektos (with Gabriele Mirabassi) and O Pata Pata (with Ralph Towner).

"Performing material from their superb 2008 recording Diálektos, which explores their mutual love of jazz, Brazilian and Neapolitan music, I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a live performance in which two artists were so completely attuned to each other, whether negotiating the trickiest unison passage or breezing through the catchiest Brazilian riff" Jazzwise
