A voice that has conquered the world arrives in Longarone! On Saturday, November 22, 2025, Longarone will be the stage for an international cultural event, hosting Mafalda Minnozzi for a unique appointment that intertwines music, history, and cultures.
A cultural bridge, Mafalda Minnozzi, an artist with a forty-year career, is a true icon who has enchanted the world with her voice. Since 1996, she has held the prestigious role of “Ambassador of Italian Culture in Brazil,” a human and artistic bond between two countries that have always intertwined.
Her deep immersion in Brazilian sounds, from bossa nova to samba, harmoniously blends with jazz roots and Mediterranean melodies, creating an unmistakable sound.

Longarone and Brazil: a significant migratory flow has seen many inhabitants of these lands seek fortune across the ocean, contributing decisively to founding cities such as Urussanga in the state of Santa Catarina, in southern Brazil. In Urussanga, at the beginning of 2025, Mafalda Minnozzi held a memorable concert, a symbolic gesture that strengthens her role as a central figure in the commemorations of the 150 years of Italian emigration to Brazil. Thus, November 22 will also be a moment for reflection and remembrance.
The Masterclass “Intersecting Cultures” will offer an opportunity for both the audience and musicians who wish to enrich their musical expression and will be divided into two sessions, in the morning and afternoon, to allow for maximum participation and engagement.
At 9:00 PM, the Cultural Center of Piazza Gonzaga in Longarone will light up for the concert “MEU RIO”: Mafalda Minnozzi and Paul Ricci, a voice, a guitar, and a journey filled with rhythm and feeling await you for an unforgettable evening that transcends borders and unites worlds.

Jazz and Brazilian Music: a journey into the universal language of live music.
