ALZAMANTES

ALZAMANTES – Lombardy

Spilimbergo – Piazza Garibaldi, Sunday 8th July, time 22.30

The Alzamantes are the revelation folk-rock band, that best represents the evolution of the Italian Balfolk panorama. The Italian and European folk dances reproposed in a unique and unmistakable format, modern and overwhelming sounds, enrich a vast ethnomusical repertoire that ranges from the Pizziche Salentine to the Irish Gighe. A journey that traces, through an energetic and bursting concert, the musical and dancing traditions for a show to dance. The format is rock, the heart is folk … but the authentic one! They come to Folkest2018 as guests of honor, after having been winners of the 2017 edition of the Suonare @ Folkest competition through the selections of the Suonare @ Folkest competition.

Dario Tornaghi – voice and accordion,
Maddalena Soler – voice and violin,
Filippo Ferrari – voice, electric guitar;
Mirko Grilli: acoustic guitar;
Angelo Merico: electric bass;
Stefano Migliavacca: drums and percussion.
