Cantina Sociale

about

CANTINA SOCIALE is a new Italian group. The line-up is: Rosalba Gentile (keyboards), Elio Sesia (guitars, bass, violin), Iano Nicolo (vocals), Gianni Grasso (bass, saxophones), Carla Viarengo (saxophones, background vocals), Marina Gentile (guitars) and Graziano Viola (drums). The music is mostly similar to the seventies groups but there are some modern influences as well. They have more Mediterranean feel in the music than an average Italian symphonic group. The debut album "Balene (c'e qualcosa di piu)" was released in 2002. It is a good album with a prominent vintage keyboard sound and it has nice use of saxophones throughout the album. The group has a good singer in Iano Nicolo and his emotional vocal delivery ads some theatrical feel. He is also the composer in the group. It is the strong Mediterranean influence that sets them apart from many other new Italian bands. Their second studio work "Cum Lux" was released in 2009. CANTINA SOCIALE should please fans of seventies Italian progressive who don't mind some modern Mediterranean influence. : : : Markus Mattsson, FINLAND : : : User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
