A new record of participation in this new edition of the Festival with 1,187 artists and the novelty of Musicultura Premiere – the digital platform that showcased the one hundred and one most deserving proposals in the competition, recording 100,000 views and 25,000 votes – the XXXV edition of Musicultura comes to life with the announcement of 60 artists accessing the Live Auditions.

The shortlist of 60 proposals competing in 2024 is made up of 11 bands and 49 male and female soloists; among the most represented Italian regions of origin we find Lombardy in first place with 13 artists, followed by Emilia Romagna with 8 and Lazio and Sicily with 6 artists each.

He said Ezio Nannipieri artistic director of Musicultura

“There is an excess of songs around, quoting Samuele Bersani, which seem like faded copies of a thousand summaries, Musicultura serves to counteract this trend which in itself we find sad, through precise artistic choices. Those who love songs, their potential to accompany and sometimes overturn our lives, cannot be satisfied with the aestheticizing pedantry of excellent but soulless, or almost soulless, productions. The sixty proposals that arrive at these auditions, with their stylistic variety and vitality of content, demonstrate that the artistic imagination of the new generations is in good health, in short, they testify that the problem is not upstream of the song supply chain, but rather downstream” .
