« Futura» is the project created to support the promotion of Italian music abroad, as a result of the collaboration between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and Italia Music Lab foundation. It consists of a music video archive that includes performances by Italian artists who over the past two years have played during the digital editions of many showcase festivals around the world.
The video concerts of LUCfest 2020 – a showcase festival taking place in Taipei and aiming to connect the Asian music industry with the global one – are now available on italiana.esteri.it. The 2020 virtual lineup included the following Italian acts: ELASI, a singer-songwriter and producer who combines exotic rhythms and ethnic instruments with digital experimentation, Lucia Manca, a passionate and dreamy singer-songwriter, and Vanarin, an Anglo-Italian Brit-Pop, R’n’B, and Neo-Soul project.
