La Tosca takes you on a journey through the Italian musical heritage of 100 years of repertoire corresponding to the biggest wave of the European Migration to the Americas (1820-1920). The traditional music of Naples and Sicily meets the Swing rhythm of Django in Paris, and brings you to the roaring atmosphere of the early American jazz. Polkas and Mazurkas will take you south to Argentina where the fusion of Sicilian music and Native Argentinian Rhythms gave birth to sensual Tangoes and Milongas.
