Trani's music scene pulses with energy when international talent meets local passion, and few events embody this fusion quite like &friends' DJ set at Evonaturasonora. This is not just another night out—it's a journey through sound designed to dissolve boundaries and connect bodies on the dancefloor through rhythm, melody, and the universal language of house music.
The Sound That Moves You
&friends has carved out a distinctive sonic identity in the global house scene, weaving together melodic house, Afro rhythms, and deep house textures. Tracks like "Jackie B" and "Ode Ireti" showcase his ability to layer expansive melodies over rich, polyrhythmic percussion drawn from diverse cultural traditions. The result is music that feels both intimate and epic, inviting introspection and movement in equal measure.
This isn't background music—it's the kind of set that commands your full attention while your body finds its groove. Expect cascading synth lines that swell like ocean waves, basslines that anchor you to the earth, and Afro-inspired drum patterns that tap into something primal and joyful.
Where Rhythm Meets the Adriatic Coast
Evonaturasonora provides the perfect backdrop for this musical exploration. The venue has become a gathering point for electronic music lovers seeking authenticity and quality in Trani, a coastal gem where medieval architecture meets contemporary culture. The intimate setting allows for genuine connection between artist and crowd—no barriers, just shared energy.
The production values elevate the experience without overwhelming it. Lighting that responds to the music's emotional arc, sound systems that deliver every frequency with clarity, and a crowd that understands the assignment: to be present, to listen, to move.

Beyond the Decks
What sets &friends apart is his commitment to cultural storytelling through sound. His tracks don't just borrow from African, Latin, and European traditions—they honor them, creating dialogues between musical worlds that might never otherwise meet. When "Ode Ireti" drops, you're not just hearing a track; you're participating in a conversation centuries in the making.
Trani itself offers the perfect pre- or post-set exploration. Wander the harbor at sunset before the music starts, or watch dawn break over the Adriatic after the final track fades. The city's trattorie and wine bars provide sustenance and reflection, and the nearby beaches of the Adriatic coast offer recovery zones for the day after.
This is house music with soul, purpose, and roots—the kind of night that stays with you long after the last beat fades and the lights come up.
