I Musicanti di Gregorio Caimi

In 2002, Gregorio Caimi brings together a group of Sicilian musicians with different training, musical culture and characteristics, once again mixing sensitivities and stories that give life to a plot from which the group originates: "I Musicanti". Their music skillfully mixes the Sicilian musical tradition with those from different countries of the Mediterranean and Africa, giving life to an intense and rich style, capable of talking to the depth of the human soul, to involve and emotion, especially during their live shows. "The Musicians" represent an example of a mixture of musical styles, modern sounds and archaic musical instruments, crossing twenty years of music with an artistic maturation that from the ethnofolk has reached, thanks also to the artistic partnership with the composer and arranger Alfredo Giammanco, the modern and global sounds of world music. This is the research field pursued by "I Musicanti": to take on the Mediterranean tradition and at the same time bring together the different experiences (jazz, rock, folk, etc.) of the musicians who are part of it, aiming at the universality of the message, without ever losing sight of their identity. The "I Musicanti" is therefore a project of folk music projected in the world of contemporary music.
