Agricantus is a band gender 'world ethnic-electronica' , born in Palermo.The group became famous in the mid 90's with the 'sound' of bandleader Toni Acquaviva, and the arrival of Swiss singer Rosie Wiederkehr. Certainly one of the most sensitive groups on the international world music scene. Theirs is an extraordinary blend of traditional and contemporary instruments and modern techniques which takes you on a journey through the voices and rites of the ethnic traditions of southern Italy and then leads you on to unknown territories in far away places. The artistic journey is symbolically based on 'vision of peace between peoples', that peace can be built continuously through the sounds, music and words. Tag words - Agricantus -

Below - Unnaddarè is a project that involves different provenance musicians and share extraction from the passion for the Sicilian musical tradition, founded by Maurizio Catania. The project started in 2000, but has settled and implemented in 2005. Appreciated throughout Italy and Europe, the Unnaddarè have released two albums with the label Megasound: Kalsa (2007) and Aqua Virgo (2008), providing a syncretic balance between the acoustic and the electronic world, where the contemporary sounds and digital rhythms perfectly blends tradition and depth of Sicilian and Mediterranean music. http://www.megasoundrecords.com/unnaddare.html
