SALENTU...ANDREA PARODI MEETS INDACO:
Bringing the Mediterranean together with a dance.
Where the sound of the soul is a dancing breath. Tarantelle, Saltarelli and Dillos meet here in the collaboration with Indaco revealing a common root.
Dance circles used as parallels and meridians measuring distances and mixing together different breaths, hands and feet, warmth and sweat, shivers and gestures which become a unique alphabet where music goes further than the words' poor balance leaving space for a new kind of communication and encounter.
The dance seen as binary code where "on" and "off" become "in" and "out". Breathing techniques giving sound to muscles just like zero and one do in the numbers they contain. This work is a great homage to the warm breath that crosses the Mediterranean which sometimes we might simply call wind. Especially when the wind does not come from some far lands or from some incomprehensible physics but only from our simple movement along with the people.
Michele Pio Ledda
The main core of INDACO was born in 1991 from an idea of Rodolfo Maltese and Mario Pio Mancini.
In 1992, their first album named "Indaco" revealed an evident tendency towards the Celtic folk and the minimalist new age. In 1995 follows "Flying with the Chackras" which marks, beyond a remarkable change in music style, the arrival of Arnaldo Vacca as a percussionist.
From 1997 with the release of their third work called "vento del deserto", experienced musicians like Pierluigi Calderoni, founder of "Banco del Mutuo Soccorso", Luca Barberini and Carlo Mezzanotte join the band.
Following the great success of this work, INDACO were back on the scene with a new album called "Amorgos" and, in 2000, they produce a live CD called "Spezie" both distributed by "Il Manifesto".
Common practice in all of INDACO's work is the presence of many Italian artists as special guests.
We're talking about Francesco di Giacomo (Banco del Mutuo Soccorso), Andrea Parodi (Tazenda), Enzo Gragnaniello, Toni Esposito, Eugenio Bennato, Mario Rivera (Agricantus), Claudio e Vittorio Nocenzi (Banco del Mutuo Soccorso), Mauro Pagani (PFM).
In "Amorgos" they have also hosted the great American trumpeter Lester Bowie
