Repertoire
ULTRA VOX vocal group performs a cappella covers of
a great musical heritage that is still rarely exploited by choral groups:
Italian songs
from 1940's and 1950's. For the first time the radio made our country sing
and dance to their music, and they made our singers and our popular music
famous all over the world.
International music from the Forties and Fifties is also included in the
repertoire, with some foreign
songs from the same period that were great hits in Italy and all over
the world.
In addition to the choir-cabaret
program, ULTRA VOX vocal group's repertoire also features
a selection of Christmas carols from different
countries and eras, and other songs from world
traditional and folk music.
