Celestino

My name is Celestino Telera, I am a singer-songwriter, musician and performer, active with original projects since 2008. My path has developed between songwriting, live music, theater, acting and clowning, often looking for a point of contact between musical and performative languages. My first album, 5/4, also received attention outside Italy, reaching Tom Robinson and BBC 6 Music among others and leading me to play in events such as MEI Festival, Magnolia Parade, Milano in Musica and MIAMI Ancora between 2008 and 2011, the year in which I then moved to the UK. During my time in the UK I also worked in theatre and performance, participating in international tours with The Paper Cinema's Odyssey and continuing at the same time the musical and research activity in clowning and acting. I have collaborated for over 15 years as a live musician and theater performer with the Apulian theater company Bottega Degli Apocrifi bringing some of their shows on tour around Italy, Spain and Portugal. I am working on a project entitled Tele Apocalypse, with the intention of bringing together these different experiences: song, performance, characters, irony and construction of an imaginary. From a musical point of view, the project has an unconventional pop fulcrum, within which elements of other genres converge, including funk, doo-wap, children's songs, rock, retro and less datable sounds. However, they are looking for musicians with whom to define the sound and add what the band has to give. For this project I am also looking for figures who can help in the development and live production of a show. I am looking for musicians in the areas of Rome or Bari, open to collaborations elsewhere. For any questions or requests please do not hesitate to contact me.
