PANDEMONIO folk group is a group of professional artists who are working to promote Italian traditional music.
Since 2000, we have dedicated ourselves to the valorisation and the recovery of the Italian traditional music- in particular the folk music of the northern part of Italy- and have played in local TV channels, radio and festivals. The Band was born as a trio with Marco Giai-Levra (guitar, mandolin, vocal), Vittorino Gaio (guitar, mandolin, vocal) and Christophe Schmuziger (guitar and vocal), students of Beppe Gambetta (acustic guitar) and Carlo Aonzo (mandolin). From 2002 enlarged its staff with Riccardo Scharf (bowed psaltery and vocal) and Giacomo Cerra (recorders, whistle and vocal) and found its complete sound.
Italian Folk Revival from Celtic and Bluegrass point of view
Dedicated to all the Italian and the Italian’s sons and daughters far from Italy…
It is not the usual Italian traditional music like pizzica or taratella, but … finally it’s something DIFFERENT!
Dear surfer,
Believing you are also interested in it, we propose you our CD “Il raccolto” (The Harvest), the product of our 4-year work; in our project, there is all the heart, the soul and the abilities we had to express the love for our traditions and our culture: it is a fabulous CD!
We have re-elaborated the Italian tradition and then we have transferred it in new musical worlds, spacing from Celtic music to country and blue-grass music.
THE RESULT? A FRESH, ORIGINAL AND MODERN SOUND!!!
The CD also includes 3 tracks that explore outside the Italian tradition, but they have been arranged with Italian flavour and style and therefore they always represent our point of view. The CD is encased in a luxury digipak with gatefold flaps containing a booklet of 12 coloured pages describing each song/piece of music.
If You click the link below, you can also listen all Mp3 tracks samples:
It’s the perfect Christmas or Birthday gift for your association’s members, your family and your friends.
Support our group “PANDEMONIO” and the Italian culture!
