Norberto Valentini

You can travel the world while sitting comfortably in your own armchair? Listening to Massimo Valentini's Jumble Music, who embodies the attitude and thought of the journey, you will have the impression of being on a Trans Europ Express which leaves from the heart of old Europe intent on reaching the Oceans. Attitude towards migration and geographical thinking made up of multiple sound continents. His is a jumble of styles and passions that brings together South America with the Balkans, manouche guitars with jazz and electronics through a skilful mix of artists and instruments.

Roberto Valentini (1671–1747) was born in Leicester and most likely remained in England until his 21st birthday, when he emigrated to Italy, settling in Rome. A multi-instrumentalist, Valentini began his career in the papal city as a violinist, cellist and oboist, but is best known as a composer for the recorder, an instrument at which he excelled as a performer.
