MUSIC ON THE MOUTHS 2012 – SANTA TERESA DI GALLURA – AUGUST 30 TO SEPTEMBER 1

Conceived and directed by musician Enzo Favata, the Straits Music is one of the most important events of the summer in Sardinia and is characterized by being a festival unconventional, open to less standardized forms of jazz and other musical languages, from classical to electronic experiments in this edition are well represented, up to the popular music of Sardinia.

Another aspect that gives originality to this festival is the dissemination of concerts in the area of Santa Teresa Gallura, one of the most beautiful places in the Mediterranean, set among the granite rocks sculpted by wind and beaches with crystal clear sea. The events include traditional and the most anticipated concerts of the famous Rena Bianca beach at sunrise and sunset concerts at the Lighthouse of Capo Testa, and since last year, the central scene of the shows is the suburb of Saint Lucia, an ancient fishing village.
