Babel
The meeting of the old world and the new.
A harmonic trio between classical, spiritual and rock accessible to all.
Innovation is a musical marriage between progressive rock and bel canto. This is the challenge of this rock opera "Babel", an impressive combination of the composer's prog rock chords and the lyrical volutes of the soprano Laura ANSALDI.
Through these creations of a different musical genre, Diego Rocca wishes to allow the Church to "get out of its walls a little and approach spirituality in a different way".
The rocker-like instrumentalist performer has succeeded in this challenge on various occasions, on radio and television celebrations, including the 2019 Eurovision Easter celebration.
From his look to his music, everything is new; the singer-songwriter does not aim at provocation, he denotes the authenticity of an artist in the full expression of his talent.
