Agricantus

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."

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).
