"Sangu
ru Poeta" Blood of Poet, ( in turkish Sairin Kani
) is a project inspired by the poems of two mediterranean
poets of our time: Ignazio Buttitta, Sicilian and
Nazim Hikmet, Turkish. Both victims of the same
destiny as forgotten at home in the historic moment
wich feels more the lack of high voices. Poets of
the road, popular poets, who sang the disperation
of daily labourers, soldiers at the front, thieves
and murderers, dead people. Voices of who has never
had voice. The poems, as in previous work of Bob
Salmieri devoted to poetry, are music-set and sung
in the original language, Sicilian for Buttitta,
Turkish for Hikmet. However, in some songs we have
inverted the language. The orchestration used is
that of the Mediterranean tradition in particular
Turkish and Sicilian as baglama, davul, ney, def,
tambourines, friscaleddu, kanun, tar, setar, violin,
grand piano etc.
Agricantus:
is a band gender 'ethnic electronica' , born in
Palermo. The group became famous in the mid 90's
with the 'sound' of bandleader Tonj Acquaviva, and
the arrival of Swiss singer Rosie Wiederkehr. From
the beginning, Agricantus (Latin: the song of the
corn field), has always had a boundless vision of
the world, from which to extract a musical narrative
through links with the cultures of the five continents.
His artistic journey is symbolically based on 'vision
of peace between peoples', that peace can be built
continuously through the sounds, music and words.
The intention is to enrich their music with sounds
and colors, languages and scripts, with the desire
to lead the listener through a continuous 'growing'
and 'lowering' of music, to switch to another possible
world.
