Agricantus
Ethno Trip Hop, Mediterranean World Music, Ambient, Palermo, IT
The Palermo, Italy-based worldbeat group Agricantus took their name from the Latin expression for "song of the wheat fields."
Agricantus' music combines a dizzying array of traditional world music forms from across the globe not only with each other but with club-ready electronic dance grooves, producing a compelling juxtaposition between old and new. Their first U.S. release was the 1999 compilation "The Best of Agricantus."
Their membership includes Federica Zammarchi (vocals, piano, samples/programming), Mario Crispi (archaic wind instruments, samples/programming, vocals), Mario Rivera (bass, keyboards, vocals, samples/programming),
and Giovanni Lo Cascio (drums, percussion), Giuseppe Grassi (mandoloncello, mandola).
