Rome’s Vitala Festival kicks off its 12th edition
From Blues to Soul, R&B, Rock, Gospel, Pop, Folk, Jazz and more, Vitala Festival kicked off a new edition right here in Rome. For those who aren’t aware of the Vitala Festival, it’s a self-funded philanthropic festival promoting live music and visual arts, organized in a long-standing collaboration with Teatro San Genesio.
From October to early June concerts and events now take place at Teatro Le Salette (Vicolo del Campanile 14) in the heart of Rome’s Prati area. While the special summer outdoor events from mid-June to early September, are hosted in the lovely venue of Parco Torretta de Massimi (Viale Luigi Moretti 1), on the Aurelia, near via della Pisana.
The Vitala Festival brings together and hosts artists from different walks of life and diverse nationalities with the purpose of entertaining the community, supporting the arts and fostering artistic synergies and cultural integration. Over the years, the Festival has hosted over 200 artists, with monthly performances and events programmed. Vitala Festival has also collaborated on dedicated, special events to fundraise for charities.
As a philanthropic project, the Vitala Festival is made possible by the kind attendance of the public and the generosity of individual donors and supporters, particularly with the increased difficulties and challenges brought about by the Pandemic. The proceeds from the tickets go to defray production costs and to support the artists involved in the Festival.
Special thanks go to all the artists and performers, to Teatro San Genesio, Teatro Le Salette, Parco Torretta de Massimi, to the Festival’s technical team and collaborators, to the kind donors and of course to the audience.

On Saturday 7 June at 9.30pm, the Vitala Festival – philanthropic events in support of Music and Art – will present a new event of its 12th edition together with the extraordinary group Bajan Voices UK, in a special visit from the United Kingdom and for the first time in Italy. Bajan Voices UK was formed in 2016, the year of Barbados’ 50th Anniversary of Independence. With a core group of 20 musicians and vocalists, the group’s vision is to keep alive Barbados’ and Caribbean tradition of songs, rhythms, spirit and music by performing old-fashioned folk, gospel, calypso and soca songs (“Soul of Calypso”, a fusion of calypso and soul music), as well as contemporary pieces which are dear to their hearts and to popular tradition. Bajan Voices UK have performed across the UK for numerous notable functions, concerts and events. This is their first time performing outside of the UK and they invite the local audience to sit back and enjoy the concert and a new musical experience. An extraordinary and evocative musical journey, not to be missed! Join us to support these lovely performers and the continuity of artistic activities.
