An obstinate “marranzano”, Sicilian for jew's harp, which recalls the lava of the Etna volcano gives the time and the sound to this new, wonderful band from Catania. 

In this project there is all of Sicily, the ancient Trinacria  and the modern island, because the Ipercussonici mix different rhythms and instruments and intertwine the sound of an electrified jew's harp with the beat on primitive drumheads.

A strong impact of rhythmic fire and a definetely innovative sound, which comes from the researches and the enthusiasm of  these musicians which have gone through other rhythmic volcanoes and they have put them back inside an ancient and the same time modern musical frame.

Tuttipari is the discographical debut by the  Ipercussonici, from Catania. 

Dum dum and didjeridoo are like drum & bass for the syncopated, psychedelic raids of the electric jew's harp; tambourine and djembè create  African-Sicilian rhythmical frames, with the voice switching between sea chant and urban chant, serenade and ragamuffin. Sicily is  celebrated and criticized, through an assumption of responsability, which is both personal and social. The vision of the world of these young artists comes from energy, involvement, collectivity and love. Their music affects  the body and makes it dance.
