Italian folksinger and singer-songwriter from Barletta, active mainly in the 1970s–1980s; known for singing in a strict Barletta dialect and blending Dylan-influenced folk with Mediterranean tones.

A single DeBaser review (Il_Paolo) praises Gino Pastore's December 29, 2008 live show in Barletta. The reviewer highlights Pastore's mix of Dylan-influenced folk and Mediterranean tones, sung in a strict Barletta dialect. The concert is described as evocative, communal and heartfelt.

For:Fans of Italian folk, singer-songwriters, local dialect music, and live concert recordings.

 Pastore's music, valid in my opinion in absolute terms, without distinctions of labels, genres, or artificial distinctions between "minor" or "major" art (compared to what, then?), skillfully mixes a Dylan-influenced folk, akin to the mood of many authors in vogue in the '70s, with Mediterranean tones that emerge from guitar arpeggios, harmonies, and the arrangements of the individual pieces, all of this radicalized by lyrics and singing in a strict Barletta dialect.
