Don Leone

Don Leone is a raw, rough-edged blues project born from the encounter between Donato Cherchi and Matteo Leone. Formed in 2016 in the Sulcis area, the duo immediately began an intense live activity, first in Sardinia and then beyond the island, releasing the EP "Welcome to South West" with Talk About Records. In 2017, the duo won the Italian Blues Challenge and, in early 2018, performed in Memphis at the International Blues Challenge. During the same period, they travelled through Mississippi and Louisiana, bringing their music into the heart of American blues, an experience documented in "The Search".
Don Leone’s journey then continued across Europe: from the final stage of the European Blues Challenge in Hell, Norway, to the Sziget Festival in Budapest, as well as festivals such as Narcao Blues, Dal Mississippi al Po Blues Festival, Campania Blues Festival, Mojo Station Blues Festival and Blues Rules. Over the years, Don Leone has shared the stage with artists such as Cedric Burnside, Watermelon Slim and Vieux Farka Tourè.
After several years on separate paths, Donato Cherchi and Matteo Leone reunited in early 2025 to record new music and return to performing together, with a more mature sound that remains faithful to an electric blues made by hand in the south of Sardinia.

Since then, she has travelled around the world four times, visiting over seventy countries, living with tribes, Indigenous peoples and shamans, and turning travel into a continuous tool for personal growth and self-discovery.
A graduate in Psychology, hiking guide, mental coach and content creator, Linda today inspires thousands of people to find the courage to dare, take the leap and build an authentic life, free from predetermined paths.
Through her content, her projects and her first book, "Sorridi, e vai", she recounts thirteen years of previously untold experiences, challenges and transformations, encouraging those who follow her to listen to their inner voice and take control of their own lives.

During his first years of city life, he discovered photography. From the beginning, it became a true passion. Curiosity and dedication eventually turned it into his profession, without ever leading him to abandon personal projects connected to ecology, the environment and landscape. In 2010, together with two partners, he founded "Sky Survey System", a company specializing in aerial images, both photography and video, using drones. He brings to the 8th edition of the Andaras Traveling Film Festival the photographic exhibition "La Bella Corinne", which invites viewers to observe the territory not merely as a backdrop, but as a living, complex and constantly transforming organism, where every trace tells of a relationship between environment, history and community.

Connected to the organization since the age of eight — first as a donor and activist, then as a staff member since 2010 — she has dedicated her entire career to the defence of human rights. She curates the association’s presence at major festivals and events: her mission is to bring Amnesty’s yellow into different contexts, helping to spread the values of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ever more widely.
