Dalen: voice and guitars
The Dalen Concert showcases the distinctive qualities of a highly diverse personal artistic journey, shaped around the finest expressions of pure and simple Italian singer-songwriter tradition. The young artist delivers powerful interpretations of straightforward and heartfelt songs, enriched by the resonant sounds of his guitars. Dalen navigates effortlessly through a rich tapestry of diverse musical influences. His songs are imbued with burning intensity and stand out for their incredible variety of musical themes, which he conveys with profound empathy and contagious musicality. Despite his young age, his performance is a testament to remarkable professionalism and charisma—a promising signal for the emerging Italian music scene. A Calabrian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Dalen released his debut single, "Crotone", in 2022. The track serves as a striking manifesto addressing the social challenges in southern Italy. "Crotone" earned first place (out of 803 competing artists nationwide) in the "Music against Mafias" contest and opened the "Caccuri Literary Prize" event, where the essay on anti-mafia efforts by Prosecutor Nicola Gratteri was presented. In 2023, Dalen was featured in a promotional tour during the Sanremo Music Festival at Casa Sanremo and on radios affiliated with the event. For RAI, he authored and hosted a documentary aired on Geo. He also collaborates with the dance troupe and musicians of La Notte della Taranta festival. His "Inspiegabile Tour", spanning 2023 to 2024, included over one hundred performances across Italy. The music video for his second single, "Emigrato", caught the attention of the newspaper La Repubblica, which published it on its website. In the summer of 2024, Dalen performed at the Magna Grecia Film Festival, an edition that featured notable guests such as Michel Platini, Raoul Bova, Tim Robbins, and Kevin Costner as the festival's patron. Among other accomplishments, Dalen has collaborated with and opened for artists such as Roberto Vecchioni, Ron, Alex Britti, Matia Bazar, Brunori Sas, Sud Sound System, Joe Bastianich, and Raiz. Dalen is… music of urgency!
