Nidi D'Arac

A CONTEMPORARY SOUND WITH A TRADITIONAL TASTE

About Me

MySpace Layouts MySpace Editor Icons Collage MySpace Graphics Photo CollageAs Ian Anderson, director and editor of Froots Magazine, once commented "Nidi D'Arac explore a crossover between the traditional musics of Southern Italy and "new musical tendencies" like dub reggae, rap and techno - tarantamuffin, anybody? - the important thing here being that there are elements already present in the old that are sympathetically amplified by the new...there's definitely something good going on in Italy." fR180, June 1998.The music by NIDI D’ARAC is pure pleasure of dance and sound, it’s an ongoing party, it’s emotional involvement, it’s spirituality. The power of this versatile ensemble is an immediate and almost physical way through, thanks also to the audacious attempt of mixing the traditional triplets rhythm of the tambourine of the Salento ‘pizzica’ used as a therapy for the bite of tarantula spider, with the chaotic electronic digital reality.
