Caparezza is from Molfetta, Italy. He specializes in Avant-garde, Progressive and Experimental music, similar in style to Frank Zappa, who Caparezza considers his mentor, with a big dose of hiphop.  The wacky Adriatic alt-rocker who makes devilishy clever pop is one of Italy's biggest stars today.  

Apres La Classe from Salento, Puglia (Southern Italy), launched in 1996 in their hometown clubs.  Wry humor and uptempo world beats form that base of their music.  One year after their successful US debut in 2010 the band is back for HitWeek2011.
