Here a little introduction from mr Fonsoul, one of our guests for next Dance with the Devil at Trenta Formiche on Saturday 23th February in Rome!
Hi, Alfonso from Barcelona speaking. Probably though some of you know me better as fonsoul.
First of all is a big pleasure having the chance of playing my records at the great Dance with The Devil. Many thanks you guys!
Then let me introduce myself. I was born in the 60s, started collecting in the 70s (Beatles and 60s bands), deeping in the 80s (interested as well back then on many weird styles, irish folk, german progressive etc.) was playing on indy bands in the 90s, and started collecting afroamerican music on original 7” format and shortly after djing in the early 00s. Got in touch with the mods and the soulies in my area first and from the whole country later, so ended up punting and later playing in almost all the Spanish clubs, rallies and weekenders.
Finally in the present decade I’ve started being called to play my records abroad, Germany, France, UK, Switzerland, Denmark, Greece…and Italy.
Have played quite a few times in Italy, Bologna, Torino, Bari, Taranto, Latina…this will be 4th time in Rome. Last time though was four years ago so very happy to be back!
I like many different styles (50&60s r&b, 60s soul, boogaloo, early funk, mod jazz, ska etc.) so you can expect eclectic/open minded sets always with the focus on the dancefloor. Bring your dancing shoes and see you there!
