In his art there are no barriers between the repertoires, and he rejects the classification of “specialist” of a limited kind of repertoire: Mario Caroli belongs to the small circle of artists able to play a classical concert and the most complex contemporary with the virtuosity and the same vivid musicality.

Acustico: Lello Analfino & Tintura in concert – Lello Analfino began to make music when still did not know either what was the music. Forced his parents to take him to piano school but after a couple of lessons Grandmaster Finestrella told the mother that the boy was brought only to hear the music not to study it…ever judgement was spot on.
Lello joins all the effects in TINTURIA band, in 1996, started playing keyboards, before becoming the lead singer and frontman of the group.
The artistic vein creative and ingenious of Lello soon becomes the expression and light and irreverent image, but never banal, of the TINTURIA. Author of texts and music, Lello flows in TINTURIA project all his creativity, able to effortlessly from pop to reggae, from funk to rap-with a dash of folk in his Sicilian roots innate moored in Sicilian sea.

His unique sound, song-crafting and especially his lyrics, often containing philosophical, religious, and culturally exotic references, as well as tackling or painting universal themes about the human condition – unusual subjects for pop songs – earned him a unique spot on Italy’s music scene, and the nickname of “Il Maestro” (“The Master” or “The Teacher”). His work includes songwriting and joint production efforts with several Italian and international musicians and pop singers, including the long-lasting professional relationship with Italian singer Alice.
