An odd coincidence binds Sergio Caputo with Notti di Luce. In 1999, indeed, while in Bergamo the first edition of the event by the Chamber of Commerce went on stage, Caputo decided to move to America, settling in San Francisco in California. It was almost a natural choice to live in the country that is the house of jazz, since the style of this artist from Rome has always been rooted into this musical genre. Therefore his collaborations with Dizzy Gillespie, Lester Bowie, Tony Scott, Mel Collins (King Crimson), Tony Bowers (Simply Red), Enrico Rava, Roberto Gatto, Roberto Nannetti, Giulio Visibelli, Ettore Bonafè, Raffaello Pareti, Danilo Rea and many others are not casualties. Caputo, after starting his musical career at the end of the 1970s, immediately caught the eye of the audience because of his way of music surely bound to jazz but able to range also into Latin rhythms, using an innovative literature language, unusual for that age. In 1983, with the release of his first album, he made whole Italy sing thanks to his song “Sabato italiano”. Then, after taking part to San Remo festival for three editions, realizes other eleven albums and many compilations, in which Caputo tested new expression keys, asserting himself and growing as author and full artist, conquering in the course of years an audience with a refined and poetic musical taste. For long, however, the artist has turned firmly to jazz music, with swing and Latin contaminations. After moving to California, in 2004 Caputo realized his first album made in Usa, “That Kind of Thing”, an instrumental work in which he first debuted as “Smooth Jazz” guitar player gaining a great success among critics and audience

Sergio Caputo’s concert will be opened by Nagaila, a singer whose vocal and communication qualities are out of question, protagonist of a refined and complex pop-rock.
An extreme and touching voice, that will be accompanied by Fidel Fogaroli’s biting Rhodes and Matteo Milesi’s drum.
