Pasqualino Beltempo releases new musical-inspired album

Pasqualino Beltempo, an Italian performer originally from Bari and a resident of New York since 2010, has released a new album titled ‘Se La Vita Fosse Un Musical’ (If Life Were a Musical) via Angapp Music. The project blends contemporary musical theater, swing orchestration, Italian singer-songwriter traditions, and French chanson to frame life as a theatrical spectacle.

In a separate cultural note, musicians gathered at the Anfiteatro del Venda in Galzignano Terme to honor the memory of Glen Hansard. The gathering followed the tragic passing of the artist in a road accident near Dublin at the age of 56.
