Lhi Jari ::: Minoranças

The group presents its own folk-rock Occitan music with the idea of blending the enchanting quality of traditional music with the thrilling sound of contemporary music. Lhi JARI set up in 1996 as 'La Bando dal Giari' and in October 2003 changed its name to this one more incisive. A style which stems from the wish to continue on the traditional influence of years gone by, and also from the desire to present the group's original modern style under a newly developed 'electric disguise'. Native from Piedmont (Turin, Italy), the group presents itself as an original interpreter of the 'Occitan' music and finds its own roots in the poetry and lyrics of the ancient troubadours of 'Langue d'oc'. The objective is to present a repertoire of its own composition, in which the traditional form of the Occitan dances is portrayed in the form of rock ska or funk: traditional instruments, such as accordion, bagpipes, violin, hurdy-gurdy and flutes play alongside bass, electric guitar and drums

Napoli MandolinOrchestra ::: Serenata luntana

Napoli MandolinOrchestra is part of the Accademia Mandolinistica Napoletana (Naples Mandolin Academy).
The Academy was founded in 1929 by Raffaele Calace and revived in 1992 by Mauro Squillante (currently president) and Leonardo Massa (artistic director), with the invaluable assistance of Antonello Paliotti. Together these three musicians have also played as the Antonello Paliotti Trio whose CD Tarantella Storta was recently released on Felmay.
Since its inception the Accademia Mandolinistica Napoletana has played a large part in reviving the Naples mandolin tradition: its intensive teaching activity has been instrumental in setting up a mandolin class at the Musica S. Pietro Conservatory a Majel1a; Through AMN the mandolin players of Napoli have represented Italy at prestigious international venues (New York, Naples, Colonia, Rudolstadt), while the group has recorded for RAI and French and German radio. The Academy is also involved in musicology research and has published several books

Nuova agricola associazione - Nu shtrille

Nuova Agricola Associazione is born with the idea to revalue and to represent the Abruzzi’s musical culture and it is developed with the attempt to propose these topics in contemporary key, with modern musical moods and lyric coming from popular roots. The music - composed by Graziano Zuccarino (voice, acoustic guitar) in collaboration with Franco Liberati (drums), Fabio Duronio (acoustic guitar and voice), Maria Alessandra Piroddi (voice), Giacomo Salario (piano, keys) e Roberto Salario (bass) - talks about stories of ordinary life in a little underground world with strong irony mixed with passion, love and joy. NAA songs have as main feature the Abruzzo’s language, expressed like musical and lyric element, but also as strongly callback of the origins, like cultural and territorial reference. NAA songs narrate history of daily life of the small truths of province, the peasants and their customs, the small - and therefore unconsidered - "dramas" of common people. The first two pubblications 'Shta vite gne nu teatrine and Dall’ Alente a lu Serepenne was been very appreciated from the critic and from the public, emphasized from the thousands of copies that have been sold all over the world. After the great reply had from the first two publications, finally the new cd has been released! NAA has international successes in Spain and England

Manigold ::: Tracce di Sud

On their debut album, Manigold use the folk music of the Salento as a starting point, but take the music into areas that would have been undreamed of by the village performers from 1954. The traditional material and self-composed pieces are intertwined with jazz, classical, Arabic, reggae, Gypsy and even tango styles. The instrumentation is also a mixture of the traditional with external influences, as fit includes accordion, violin, saxophone, electric bass and assorted percussion. There is a dramatic contrast between the individual tracks. Deuteragonia is based on a tango rhythm, a Balkan feel is evident in the asymmetric time signature of Mamma La Rondinella, the traditional ballad Lu Rusciu Te Lu Mare includes an atmospheric, mellow saxophone, Fellini is an appropriately filmic piece with some delicate counterpoint of saxophone and accordion, La Danza Dei Bastoni has Arabic roots and Il Volo Di Santa Pupa is essentially a dazzling vibraphone feature. The musicians come from jazz, traditional music and classical backgrounds and bring their diversity of experience to the music. The playing is exceptionally skilful and each track seems to be a different project, conceived in a completely new musical direction. This produces possibly too much stylistic variety for a single album, but overall fit is a fascinating and colourful experience.

Suriscot trio ::: Phases

Take the traditional tunes played with hurdy-gurdy, fiddle, and two-rows melodeon, add the keyboards and mix it up with plenty of improvisation, you'll have Suriscot, a trio whose extremely young members produce a brave and innovative musical proposal that "twists" the typical stylistic features of folk music.

Riccardo Tesi ::: Un ballo liscio

Courtesy of Miguel at SFRP forum - Classic, Jazz, World  
originally posted by Nuvola rossa on Un mondo in Mi settima
A journey through a century of liscio, the most popular Italian folk dance. A really special project of great artistic quality. A multi-ethnic orchestra, formed by some of the most representative musicians coming from ethnic, classical and jazz areas, regardless of any prejudice, rigorously rework melodies and rhythms that allowed whole generations of Italian people to dance: from the classical echoes of Carlo Brighi to the band atmospheres of Concerto Cantoni and the jazzy breaks of Gorni Kramer, not to mention the ethnic blends of the regional variations. An opportunity to rediscover the attractive melodic structures, the instrumental virtuosity, the fascinating combinations of timbres and the most hidden and seductive aspects of an undeservedly underrated musical genre
