"A MASQUArade Show" by Martina Ventura
Since they formed in 2009 Masqua have been seeking a unique vibe to be relocated to. Everything took place from the willing of the singer, Angela Luzi to re-create on stage the typical features of theatrical performances linked up with a never-heard-before sound that collide all together in a compact and harmonious package of hyper-modern electronic riffs, pop and folk elements with the ancient Italian madrigal style as a closing patch.
Masqua members have known each other since they met at the Goldsmith College and set up as a London based six-people ensemble, introducing Angela Luzi on vocals, Devid Dell’Aiera on drums, bassist Riccardo Albini-Trissino, John Atterbury on guitar, Nathan Harmer on the electro keyboard and Jasmine ScottNaele at the cello. Each of them comes from different music backgrounds giving the band a multicultural strong and effective shape: a bit African, unequivocally British and Irish, and definitely Italian.
The band have recently had 4 gigs in March, the first on the 3rd the month at the Fox & Firkin, the second on the 14th at The Workshop, the third one at the Breakout Club-New Cross Inn on the 19th, and the last one on the 28th of March at The Regal Rooms and announced that further dates are due to be held in April and May.
Day by day, these guys have be able to bring to life an amazing show, increasing their electronic mood and spreading to the people- come to support them- all the emotions and vibes expressed in their music. The beginning of all their performances is a moment full of drama and pathos in which the singer, Angela Luzi, hits the stage or just turns around with her face to the people, wearing a symbolic colourful 3-faced mask, which gave the guys the idea on the name for the band.
The homonymous EP “MasQua” will be officially released at the end of April and it will consist of three tunes, Forces, Red and Blue and My Goodbye, with the lyrics of Angela Luzi and music from Angela Luzi and MasQua, produced by John Atterbury & MasQua, and mixed by John Atterbury..."
