Pippo Pollina & the Palermo Acoustic Quintet

[https://www.pippopollina.com/de/](https://www.pippopollina.com/de/) With over 4,000 concerts across Europe, he is one of the most popular Italian singer-songwriters. Pollina captivates audiences with his boundless creativity, which has kept his many loyal fans surprised time and again for more than 35 years. Whether through lyrical ballads, poetic protest songs, or rock-inspired tracks, Pollina’s lyrics always remain sensitive and tender. In addition to his concerts with his band, he has also collaborated with countless international artists, such as Georges Moustaki, Franco Battiato, Inti Illimani, Konstantin Wecker, Rebekka Bakken, Charlie Mariano, and Werner Schmidbauer & Martin Kälberer. Pippo Pollina exults and reasons, chats and reflects, with a voice that is at once rough and sonorous, sometimes with a touch of laconicism, but never without a fundamental reverence for the beauty of sound and the power of art. Because music is a gift. That is the foundation, despite all doubts.
