About / Biography

The band performs Italian and international songwriting standards (Fabrizio de André, Giorgio Gaber, Leonard Cohen, Violeta Parra, Caetano Veloso and many others), as well as songs made famous by extraordinary performers such as Renato Carosone, Fred Buscaaglione, Edith PIaf, Charles Trenet, Mercedes Souza, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald...) The repertoire may include Neapolitan and Italian traditional and folk songs and also original songs written for the band.

"Barbera & Champagne" may be suitable for different kinds of events, as the repertoire is varied and flexible: we can give a touch of Italianess to your Wedding Party, or we can play an entirely international repertoire, singing in 6 different languages and dialects (English, Italian, French, Spanish, Neapolitan, Greek) . Our voices - a female lead voice, plus 2 males voices - are often blended in perfect harmony, thus enriching the band's sound.

In addition to our concert activity, we like performing at weddings, anniversary, corporate events.

In the review section of this site our clients have left full descriptions and appreciation for our performances.

We will be pleased to meet you at your next event!

What are your basic technical requirements?

- appropriate power sockets
- dinner or refreshment (to be agreed); still water during setup and performance
- parking spot or transfer from and to (airport, train station...)


What information do you require about a venue?

We need to know how big the place is, in order to set the amplification system (pics are appreciated)


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, we normally do.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, we can. We are happy to prepare a special Spotify playlist for the event, and play it before, after and between our sets. If the costumers have their own music, they just share their playlist with us and we manage everything.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

We have performed for several festivals in Italy, such as "Donne in Canto" in Milan or "Ghironda Festival" in Puglia. We have also recordered for RAI -(Italian National Television)
One of the venue we liked most was the Montemassi Castle in Tuscany


What's your favourite type of event?

We love playing together, so we really enjoy every kind of event. We are happy to see people involved with our music, be it a wedding or an anniversary or a proper concert.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

All of us are also members of different bands: the singer is a also choir leader (she leads a gospel choir, an all-female folk choir, a vocal trio...), the accordeonist, guitarist and perucussionist play in other bands.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

There are so many... Edith Piaf, Domenico Modugno, Fabrizio De André, Leonard Cohen, Astor Piazzolla, just to mention a few.
The greatest songs of all time could be "Volare" by Domenico Modugno, La vie en rose sung by Edith Piaf, Libertango by Astor Piazzolla, but we all agree that there are to many beautiful songs to be sung, and many of them we probably have not discovered yet! That is why we are always opened to... suggestions!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

30' (setup)
75' or more (performance)


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, of course, depending on the weather conditions. We normally need a power supply close to the performance area, but we can also play short unplugged sets if requested.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them.
We normally recommend them to leave it to us, because it's our job and because they trust us.
For special occasions we can learn specific songs: if they have an important meaning for our custumers, we are happy to do that.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Our previous costumer liked the elegance of our repertoire, but also the ability to make them dance to the rhythm of traditional Italian and Latin music
