Anita Camarella & Davide Facchini

The Duo was founded in 2000: two exceptional musicians coming from different musical directions (Anita Camarella from early music and jazz and Davide Facchini from rock and blues) but united by their common passion and curiosity for different musical languages.
Over the last 18 years Anita Camarella and Davide Facchini have been committed to researching, analysing and working-out songs from the Italian Swing era of the 30s and 40s: unforgettable lyrics and music telling of typical Italian life-experiences and anecdotes of that time.

Their passion for this music culminated in two recordings: Quei motivetti che ci piaccion tanto!(2002) and their new album La famiglia canterina (2013) that was honored with the LadyLake Indie Music Awards Best Album 2013 U.S.A.

Their music reflects the influences of swing and jazz, as well as their own fresh and original guitar and a-capella compositions.

This talented couple can already look back on many years of international concerts, including prestigious festivals and exhibitions in Italy, Europe, United States and Russia their aim being to share and make known to the world this important aspect of Italian cultural history.

Radio stations in United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina, Brazil, Tunisia, Portugal, France, Switzerland, Hungary, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia and Italy have broadcasted their music.

Anita Camarella and Davide Facchini have performed in some of the most important and renowned concert halls (e.g. Nashvilles Ryman Auditorium), alongside some of the most famous artists on the international guitar scene (Tommy Emmanuel, Paul Franklin, Stephen Bennett, Muriel Anderson, Carl Verheyen, Thom Bresh, Buster B. Jones, and many others)

Anita & Davide!

These two are huge in Nashville. I've seen clips of them with everybody who's anybody, and they're always so friendly & nice. Taking lessons with Davide is an honor and a blessing no matter what your skill level. He's played with Tommy Emmanuel, Muriel Anderson's All Star Guitar Night, and has been seen pickin & grinnin with the likes of John Knowles! It just doesn't get any better than this. Look them up & take a couple lessons, you'll be glad you did :-)

I have been a huge fan of these two since 2008. I was living on an Island on the east coast of Australia and stumbled on a version of Blackbird they had put together with the use of a loop. I just fell in love with their unique sound. I have followed them ever since we have since all met in Italy. I have watched and listened to lots of their music and am always inspired at the way they flavor everything they do with a signature stamp. Davide is a fantastic guitar player, always innovative and colorful in anything he plays. He plays so many styles from traditional bluegrass flat picking, thumb picking right through to jazz and gypsy jazz. When he plays and Anita sings it all comes together like hand and a glove. With Anita’s beautiful true voice and Davide’s wonderful guitar playing it is just so unique and a treat to any musical ear. Anita has achieved greatness in her ability to sing old bluegrass standards to jazz and folk in English and also in her native Italian language. It’s such an easy thing to write about and I love everything they do. What a gift they are to the world of music. WONDERFUL!!!!
