periferia del mondo - the project
Periferia Del Mondo was formed in Rome in 1996 by woodwind player Alessandro Papotto (BANCO del Mutuo Soccorso), guitarist Giovanni Tommasi and bassist Claudio Braico, who were soon joined by drummer Tony Zito and keyboardist Bruno Vegliante. The band has performed several shows in Italy and abroad, and released three albums in CD and LP format: In ogni Luogo, in ogni tempo (2000), “Un Milione di voci ” (2002), both featuring important guests such as Mauro Pagani, Vittorio Nocenzi, Francesco di Giacomo, Rodolfo Maltese, Massimo Alviti, Luca Sapio, and many others; and the newly released third homonym album . The two former albums gained large appreciation and enthusiastic reviews from radios and papers all around the world. Periferia Del Mondo also appears on two live productions: the CD “ Omaggio a Demetrio Stratos ” (2000) and the DVD “ Gouveia Art Rock 2004 ” recorded in Portugal during their exhibition at the Gouveia Art Rock Festival together with Richard Sinclair Band and Isildurs Bane. The style is a kaleidoscope of colours spreading from jazz-rock to psychedelic music to symphonic rock. About them it's been said: 'Groups like this define what progressive is… By combining elements of 70’s prog-rock with a modern twist… An impressive amalgam of rock and jazz music… Periferia Del Mondo is one of the world’s best-kept secrets and one of the better Italian Progressive Rock bands that I have heard.'
The newly issued third album, Periferia del Mondo, is published by Electromantic Music, managed by Beppe Crovella, great keyboards player of Arti & Mestieri.
