Agricantus

"Agricantus'' is an Italian musical group formed in Palermo, Sicily, in 1979. Throughout their career, they have developed an artistic path characterized by the blending of musical styles, languages, and dialects, combining instruments from popular musical traditions with electronic sound solutions. After an initial phase inspired by Andean music and South American folk traditions, the group became part of the Sicilian folk revival in the 1980s. From the 1990s onwards, following their discographic debut and the release of several concept albums, Agricantus shifted their focus towards world music, emphasizing the musical traditions of Southern Italy and the Mediterranean area. In the 2000s, the group continued their activities through new recordings and collaborations in the fields of cinema and music. From 2008 onwards, distinct artistic paths emerged from the history of Agricantus, each reflecting different aspects of the group’s experience.
