It's about balkan madness, reshaped italian folk, electronic music, hip hop beats and dub-reggae vibes all mashed together and fully shaked with high energy. What comes out is Global Beats with fine arrangements and frenzy attitude!!
An eclectic crew for a journey in Italian folkloric traditions with the nomadic spirit of a vagabond: a wind section that intertweaves with gypsy sounds made of darbuka and accordion, all of it set to electriconic rhythms based somewhere between folkstep and echoes of dub.
It was 2011 when musician and radio DJ Mondo Cane, a.k.a. Mondokan, brought together an ensemble of daredevil musicians for an experiment that soon revealed itself to be a powerhouse of experimental sounds. Electronic beats find themselves arm-in-arm with traditional Italian melodies that themselves are filtered through the mesh of Eastern European contamination.
A return to the future going between the Balkans, Arab countries and Italian traditions. This Pan-European bent is also found in lyrics sung in a mixture of French, English, Spanish, German, Greek and Italian. An authentic linguistic melting-pot that speaks of modernity and new frontiers.
On stage the band offers a festive, powerful and timeless show in front of which it's hard to stay still.
