Pula will become the centre of Mediterranean groove this summer — Nu Genea, the internationally acclaimed Neapolitan music duo known for their distinctive blend of funk, disco, soul, and Italian seventies pop, is coming to Pula for the first time! The concert will take place on 29 July 2026 at the Small Roman Theatre, one of the most special historical venues in this part of the Mediterranean.
Behind the name Nu Genea stand Massimo Di Lena and Luciano Foglia, producers and multi-instrumentalists who have redefined the contemporary dance sound inspired by the southern Mediterranean. Their best-known album Bar Mediterraneo (2022) won over audiences and critics around the world, bringing a fresh, vibrant, and positive energy that bridges European funk and Afro-Italian rhythms.
Nu Genea's performances are known for their infectious atmosphere and rich live sound, where the band expands their production duo into a full lineup with brass, percussion, and vocals. Their concert in Pula promises a unique blend of Pula's heritage and the Neapolitan soul — a musical evening that erases the boundaries between a club performance and an open-air spectacle.
Before the main act, the audience will be set dancing by Giu Nunez, a DJ and selector from Brazil, known for her eclectic mix of boogie, funk, Brazilian MPB aesthetics, and South American dance rhythms. Her sets radiate joy, warmth, and organic energy that perfectly sets the stage for Nu Genea's sunny vision of the Mediterranean.
The audience will be further delighted by nemanja band, a Pula-based project led by multi-instrumentalist Luka Šipetić, whose sound — honed through a trilogy of albums — blends psych-funk, afrobeat, and Anatolian pop with modern production. Their live performance brings an explosion of groove and visual energy — a true local gem with global potential.
The number of tickets will be strictly limited due to venue capacity. The organiser invites the audience to secure their spot in time — because this will not just be a concert, but one of the cultural highlights of the summer of 2026.
