BALAMONDO WORLD MUSIC FESTIVAL – L’ESTATE DI RAOUL

Location: Gatteo Mare – Piazza Romagna mia

Period: 15th of August 2026

Time: 9.30 pm

Accessibility: by car and public transportation

Description: to celebrate the king of Liscio Raoul Casadei on his birthday, the municipalities of Gatteo and Cesenatico dedicate a long night to Liscio and to the man who succeeded in transforming the Romagna tradition into a “global” phenomenon.

Thanks to Raoul, and later to his son Mirko, who took up his creative legacy, Liscio has demonstrated its ability to dialogue with every possible sound.

And while the words of the famous song “Romagna Capitale”, a symbolic piece written by Raoul Casadei and his son Mirko, shine brightly on Viale delle Nazioni, on the nearby stage in Piazza Romagna mia Mirko Casadei POPular folk orchestra and Neri per Caso offer an evocative musical contamination between Liscio and vocal pop, where the energy of the Romagna orchestra meets the harmonious interplay of the voices of one of Italy’s most beloved bands.

‘L’Estate di Raoul’ is one of the events of the “Balamondo World Music Festival”, an innovative, unique festival where artists bring elements of their own music to the stage and then blend them with Liscio, the popular tradition of Romagna.
