The Barbarian band is active since 2001, and originates from the lands in the shade of the western Alps, a place called Bugella Civitas, (the present Biella- Piemonte - Italy). For many years now the band has been terrorising surrounding popular folk, whom for a very long time, have been dedicated to agriculture and sheep rearing.
This group of hunter-gatherers, let alone musicians, is formed of three bagpipes and two drums able to summon the thunder in Earth, namely Taranis, their patron and great God of the storms.
As powerful as the voice of Taranis is, so is their music. Their repertoire branches out from traditional Portugese, French, Scottish, German, Breton and Piedmont pieces to songs of their own creation.
They conduct a semi nomadic lifestyle, seasoningly abandoning their land to roam the entire Italic territory, and often crossing the imposing Alpine walls so to satisfy their inexhaustible thirst for adventure.
