MUSICAUTA

MUSICAUTA is the result of research work into traditional music in the south of Italy, crossing this music with other styles and influences that give it a modern relevance.

Nicola Andrioli and Morena Brindisi have been working on this project for some years.

Their  idea is to fuse typical Apulia music forms as 'pizzica', 'tarantella', 'serenata'  'ninna-nanna' with other Mediterranean rhythms and with jazz improvisations, that belong to the musical background of the two artists.

Carlo Strazzante originates from the south of Italy and he specialized in percussion techniques from the oriental and Indian world. His framedrums and Indian percussion instruments go perfectly with the MUSICAUTA project that has now acquired its definitive form.

Emanuela Lodato has joined the group recently with South Italian frame drum and vocals.

The four musicians having very different backgrounds and they can play the original scores on multiple interpretation levels.

Thus MUSICAUTA offers you a colorful adventure into the

musical tradition of south and east.
