While North American Christmas traditions typically draw from northern European origins, Alla Boara showcases Italy’s vibrant holiday musical heritage with a performance that bridges cultural divides. Authentic folk songs presented with fresh, accessible arrangements that honor their roots while engaging modern audiences make their December 6 show at Natalie's Grandview in Columbus a must-see this season.
These are Christmas songs that aren't often heard. Alla Boara celebrates the deep history of human music-making by cultivating fresh sounds from the ancient roots of Italian folk. The songs, near extinct in the wild, are presented here with a modern-jazz sensibility performed on guitar, trumpet, bass, accordion, keyboard, and percussion, and featuring the powerhouse vocals of Amanda Powell. Alla Boara has received critical acclaim from NPR, SWR2 (Germany), All About Jazz, Cleveland Magazine, and many others.
