Zighi Baci
Sheri Mignano’s Zighi Baci (pronounced ZIGGY BOTCH-chee) band likes to play dance music in the Italian “Ballo Liscio” style: waltzes, mazurkas, polkas, rhumbas, tangos, tarantellas, paso dobles, jotas, and marches.
A hundred years ago, Italian dance hall music saturated popular culture with the Viennese school influence; it later fused with Latin rhythms and Italian melodies to create a broader appeal. By the mid-1950’s, the next generation of Italian-American composers were introducing these dance genres to San Francisco Bay Area audiences in cafes and nightclubs. Zighi Baci performs Italian standards and music written by Bay Area composers such as Frank & Lawrence Andrini, Peter Tarzia, Rudy Cipolla, Gino Pellegrini, Mike Corino, and other Italian immigrants.
Two thousand four marks Zighi Baci’s debut at the Cotati Accordion Festival! Their performance is dedicated to Sheri Mignano’s grandfather, Francesco Mignano who played the button box, and to Mike Corino, composer, accordion virtuoso and teacher. Fabio Giotta will sit in as guest accordionist at the Festival.
Zighi Baci also performs at Caffe Trieste locations and at other venues throughout Northern California.
