about
A folk-revival bands from Northern Italy founded by Maurizio Martinotti. The band boasted a twenty-year career, 7 records and several concerts all over the world ....Over the years these musicians have researched and resurrected the music of Italy, much of which has never been recorded in the field, or even notated, before the last half of this century. They are archivists, and proud of it in a country that didn't always encourage such research. The heart of [their] music is the acoustic instruments: bagpipes, hurdy-gurdy, piffero (a double reed wind instrument), accordion, many kinds of strings and percussion, plus as the band once put it, "a polite use of electronics." Very polite and appropriately in context. They offer a rich vitality , performed by virtuoso musicians who obviously love the music too much to mummify it.
