About Me

VINCENZO JOPPOLO - I am an American multi-instrumentalist and I love the culture of the Mediterranean. Specifically, the Grecanico music and culture of Calabria as well as the music of Grecia Salentina (Puglia) and Greece. Using traditional instruments such as the Lira Calabrese, Bouzouki and Mandolino along with modern electronic music technology, I strive to create a music that is both ancient and modern. My music is not purely traditional but a hybrid of all the traditional styles. It is a mixture of the Tarantella, Muttetta and Viddanedda of Calabria along with the Pizzica of Puglia and the various traditions from Greece ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------ mia musica è un ibrido...una miscela delle tradizioni musica del sud e della Grecia da un americano
