In the middle of the 90’s swing music came back into fashion, after
being famous in the 30’s and 40’s, and is the kind of music that the
Swingers play, a band from Palermo made up in 2005 by Fabrizio Velasquez,

England. Velasquez, who is the lead singer and guitar player, will be
joined by the other members of the group, Mickey Mazzola on the sax,
Fabio Piro on the trumpet, Jack Tantillo on the trombone, Charlie Paci
al sax tenore, Fabio Brusca on the piano and percussion, Diego Tarantino
on the double bass e Tony Leta “Boom Boom” on the drums. Pieces from

Bublè, who has reached the top ten in the charts throughout the world
with his latest album “Call me Irresponsible”.
This year in Mondello there will also be sophisticated music from A Noi
Ci Piace Vintage, a group made from a project by Vincenzo Ferrara and
