OUR ARTISTS AT ESNS 2025

DANIELA PES

Daniela Pes was born in Sardinia in 1992 with a voice and music that defies classification and predetermined silos. Daniela Pes is immersed in music, as a singer, as well as an instrumentalist and an electronic musician. In April 2023, she released her first album, Spira, produced by Iosonouncane. It represents the synthesis of Daniela’s many musical lives, which include a conservatory degree in Jazz Singing, a scholarship to the Nuoro Jazz Summer Seminars and the Tenco Award for Best First Work in 2023. Daniela Pes is nominated for the Music Moves Europe Awards 2025.

ESPAÑA CIRCO ESTE

España Circo Este represents a musical caravan with a unique and original sound: Latin pop, punk, cumbia, and reggae… in one word: tangopunk.
Since 2013, they released many albums, played many major European festivals, and supported the likes of Manu Chao, Gogol Bordello, Dubioza Kolektiv and Shaggy.
In April they released the anti-war song Addio Paura with folk band Modena City Ramblers. In spite of what their name suggests, the group is actually from Rimini, Italy.

 JAMES JONATHAN CLANCY QUARTET

Maple Death Records founder James Jonathan Clancy (Italy/Canada) recently put out his first album in seven years, and the first under his birth name, on his Bologna based label. On Sprecato, Clancy has refined and honed his vision – steadily and carefully drawing from disparate influences to create a new kind of singer-songwriter album that bridges the divide between cosmic loner-folk, proto-ambient music, and the epic, intricately arranged world of vintage Italian soundtrack music.
Clancy (chitarra/sampler/voce) performed with Dominique Vaccaro (JH Guraj) alla chitarra, Andrea De Franco (Fera) ai synth e Laura Agnusdei al sax.

Fri 17 JAN – AA-Theater – 19:00-19:40
R.Y.F. is the solo project of Italian singer/songwriter Francesca Morello whose core mission is to give a voice to diversity, to the queer community and its struggles with society and heteronormativity, as well as to non-binary people and to all fabulous creatures. It is music you could dance or destroy a room to, a cathartic balance of suffering and jubilation – an electro-punk disco steeped in queer, feminist subversion. Fourth album Deep Dark Blue arose from software and analog instruments and was then developed with Maurizio “Icio” Baggio (The Soft Moon, Boy Harsher).
