About five years ago, Moreno The Blonde, legendary leader of Casadei Orchestra, star of liscio and dancehalls, king of the clarinet, meets Mirco Mariani, sounds experimenter, refined composer, connoisseur and collector of ancient and rare instruments. So, under the good omens of Riccarda Casadei (Secondo Casadei’s daughter), the two musicians, so different in education, but combined by love and total dedication to musical muse, found Extraliscio. The world-known voice of Romagna mia could not miss in the original formation, the Alain Delon from Romagna, Mauro Ferrara. Therefore, the tradition of liscio romagnolo – the true one, the one that “you dance until light cracks in”, until people want to dance – meets new sounds and places, crosses unthinkable trajectories, from electro music to rock and pop. Romagnolo folk opens up to new horizons, and Romagna meets the world. Ermanno Cavazzoni, extraordinary writer from Emilia-Romagna, author of Il poema dei lunatici, that inspired Federico Fellini for his last movie, The Voice of the Moon, is the narrating voice of the movie and follows, with his eccentric gestures, Extraliscio's journey: a voyage in time, from dancehalls of Romagna, from their ’70s orchestra roots to the words of great artists with whom they have been collaborating; and also a space voyage: from an unknow place in Romagna, where they are waiting for an audition, to Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in Milan, where they reach success.
