DOWNLOAD "Al Qantarah" from iTunes!Ecstatic Rhythms of South Italy, Desert Voices and Metropolitan SoundsWith its original sound this project reveals a powerful stream of confluent energy between traditional musical cultures from opposite shores of the Mediterranean, blended together by thoughtful and sophisticated use of live electronics.
Traditional vocal patterns and formulae are performed in a spirit of respect, so that original genres are always recognizable, even when electronic arrangement rises to a peak.The band uses diverse percussion – including frame drums, pots, cans and stray objects – jew’s harps, an array of wind instruments and the organetto or diatonic accordeon, along with voices and more voices.The astonishing and often moving effects created by juxtaposing and integrating the different musical sources, underlined by electronic resonance and carried forward by sheer rhythm, will immerse you irresistibly in a flowing density of sound. So... watch out or we’ll catch you... in other words: Ammaraciccappa!“Ammaraciccappa explores one of those transversal routes that I always loved to stroll. all the ingredients were there long since, the shaker just needed to be shaken… it’s done: the coktail is superb.â€
