International Frame Drum Ensemble Andrea Piccioni - ital. Tamburella, Percussion, voc. Gilson de Assis - brasil. Pandeiro, Percussion, voc. Murat Coskun - türk. Bendir, Percussion, voc. The percussion ensemble “Tamburo Mundi” brings together three internationally known percussionists: Andrea Piccioni (Italy) - Gilson de Assis (Brazil) - Murat Coskun (Turkey). The music of this unique combination emerges from a common source—the frame drum, an integral part of Italian, Brazilian, and Turkish music traditions. The irrepressible delight in performing and the boundless fun in exploring when the musicians drum, sing, and dance all creates a totally new synthesis: effortlessly the Italian singing merges with the Roma dance of the Balkans, the oriental trance rhythmics become funky hip-hop grooves and the musicians dance Tarantella dances to Brazilian Samba. All the musicians possess a convincing knowledge of their own musical traditions and a virtuosity and mastery of their instruments. With humor, charm, and spontaneity, “Tamburo Mundi” presents their new program, with an irresistible magic of beating drums. www.tamburomundi.com |
