Dousson'Gouni di Roberto Ottaviano + Ansuman Biswas & The Dinner Party per Bari in Jazz 2025

Double concert on July 24th at Giardino Princigalli in Bari for #Bariinjazz

8:30 PM in collaboration with Puglia Culture

**Doussoun’ Gouni** is the new musical project that brings together five highly experienced musicians in an ensemble capable of blending jazz, funky, fusion, and world sounds into an original and coherent language. The protagonist is the saxophone of **Roberto Ottaviano**, a refined musical narrator who traverses emotional and stylistic registers with extraordinary freedom: his sound floats between enveloping melodies, expressive dissonances, and bold improvisations, always keeping the sense of storytelling alive.

The name Doussoun’ Gouni refers to a traditional instrument from West Africa, a symbol of the oral memory passed down by griots. A unique project that brings to the stage a mix of authentic sounds, creative energy, and a passion for music that tells stories.

**Dinner Party and Ansuman Biswas:** _a musical journey through contemporary jazz, world music, and improvisation_

For this edition, the **Dinner Party** – an internationally renowned ensemble – presents a unique musical project featuring the extraordinary participation of Ansuman Biswas, a British-Indian artist known for his ability to merge Indian musical traditions with European avant-garde. An unmissable performance that crosses cultures, sounds, and global languages, creating a new form of contemporary world music. **Ansuman Biswas**, voice, sarod, and ritual percussion, is a multidisciplinary artist who merges the spirituality of Eastern sound with the energy of radical improvisation. His hypnotic and engaging style transports the audience into a deep sonic experience where sound becomes storytelling, meditation, and vital energy. Together with the Dinner Party, Biswas builds a fluid and ever-evolving musical language that mixes contemporary jazz, extra-European music, and creative improvisation. A true invitation to listen, discovery, and wonder.
