5.0 out of 5 stars Che Meravigliosa!, November 10, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Best of Agricantus (Audio CD)

This CD truly captures the sounds of Southern Italy at its best, while also incorporating other Mediterranean vibes. All of the songs on this album gracefully blend numerous languages with the sicilian dialect(since the band is from Palermo, Sicily), to form a type of music that is rare and refreshing.

This is a wonderful CD for just about everything: driving, dancing, relaxing, etc. It's a great combination of many Mediterranian influences, with elements derived from North Africa, Greece, and Italy. My only complaint it that it gets a little repetitive, and many of the songs sound very similar. If you like Mediterranian music with strong female vocals, I also suggest you check out Mammas. It's a little less percussion-heavy than Agricantus, but still very good.

Agricantus's CD is amazing. I saw them live in Rome four years ago. I went to a small intimate concert they gave, and their music is just amazing. They are awesome performers, so if you ever get to see them live, you will be amazed. Their musical virtuosity and love of music are evident in their performances. I think that you will appreciate their songs, even if you can't understand the words. One reviewer felt the songs were repetitive, but I think that comes with the territory of not understanding the meaning behind the words. I never got that impression from them when I saw them live. I wish more of their stuff was sold in the US!
