«An intense and deeply evocative concert: this was Agadez’s performance at Rome's Auditorium Parco della Musica, where on December 18, the singer-songwriter presented the Italian premiere of the Queendoms Unplugged tour. An acoustic and shamanic live set that transformed the stage into a ritual space, suspended between music, spirituality, and archaic memory. Agadez, a stage name inspired by Tuareg symbolism, is Giada Colagrande. Her musical path and compositions clearly reveal the cultural heritage and passions that define her: research into the Sacred Feminine, an interest in archaeo-mythology and shamanism, all of which are also reflected in her choice of core instruments - voice, frame drums, and guitar. In 2024 she composed Queendoms with the intention of creating music capable of inducing trance.

With Queendoms Unplugged, she brings to the stage a new incarnation of the album Queendoms (2024), dedicated to archaic female cults that followed the primordial one of the Great Mother. The concert proved to be a true initiatory journey, a sensory and spiritual experience in which each piece is consecrated to a Goddess, her myth, and her primordial power. Behind every name lies a single essence: the Primordial Great Goddess, guardian of life, death, and mystery. Fundamental was the contribution of Antonio Forcione, an internationally renowned guitarist who rearranged the entire project. His guitar, used as a shaman uses his drum, merged with Agadez’s voice, creating deep, hypnotic soundscapes of great emotional intensity. On stage with them was an ensemble that amplified the project’s tribal and choral dimension: Natalia Bacalov (cello and voice), Martin Sevrin (bass), Lucrezia Testa Iannilli (bodhrán), Simone Pulvano (percussion), and Claudia Ugenti (voice and drums). An immersive live performance of about an hour and a half, greeted with long applause.»
