On tour, he has travelled to Germany, India, Italy, France, Spain, England, Malta and Russia, with noteworthy performances in the Royal Albert Hall, the Glastonbury Festival, the UK Parliament, the Tower of London, the Union Chapel, and at numerous festivals in France and Italy. In 2020, through his parallel project 'Gypsy Dynamite', Filippo launched the album Café Dynamite with 10 original tracks that combine Manouche jazz, bebop and Latin and Mediterranean melodies. A critical success, the album has received praise such as 'an irresistible and unforgettable joy' from Jazz Journal UK.
