The high-flying „little big trio …e la luna? has been firmly established in Berlin’s concert circuit for a long time“. Their uniquely arranged canzoni italiane float into our ears as „a highly idiosyncratic musical something, sung with a casual yet grandiose charm, interwoven with melancholy and pomp“. (Berlin listings magazine ‚zitty‘, 9/02)

Italian music simply courses through the veins of singer and lyric-writer Eva Spagna, la fiorentina. Holger Schliestedt on guitar and Martin Klenk, alternating cello and sax, lay a highly precise and simultaneously „crazy yet witty“ foundation. They also pen the new compositions.

Since 1997, the winners of Berlin’s music award musica vitale have produced three CD´s and given countless concerts in Berlin, throughout Germany and all over Europe.

…e la luna? plays music that makes you happy! Irony and melancholy …e la luna? blends them with a wondrously deft touch.
