The Mezzotono Show is entirely executed by five voices a-cappella with a repertoire of defining Italian music sung in many styles. Whether pop or jazz and bossa nova, mambo or tango, big band or classical music, all the songs have been given a fresh new twist by their arrangements and the inventive contribution of the rhythmic-vocal section.

The five singers use their voices to reproduce the sounds of the different instruments, often introducing a comic touch and encouraging audience participation in a friendly and never pushy way.

They are true ambassadors of Italian music, performing in some of the best theaters of 32 countries and 4 continents around the world (Albania, Algeria, Angola, Saudi Arabia, Austria, Chile, China, Croatia, Egypt, England,France, Hungary, Germany, Malaysia, Morocco, Monaco, Romania, Russia, Scotland, Singapore, Slovakia, Spain, Sri Lanka, Swiss, Slovenia, UAE, Taiwan, Tanzania, Turkey, Vietnam, Zambia, Zimbabwe) and are the Italian vocal group to have given the most concerts abroad. Mezzotono has already been in several prominent Italian tv appereances.
