Musicisti Basso Lazio

NEW TOUR OF 2012


Logo brigantesse

“MBL"

a project of

Benedetto Vecchio


The project Musicisti Basso Lazio was born in 2000 by an idea of Benedetto Vecchio and thanks to his great passion for popular music. The concert ranges between tradition and world music, and collects from the area of ballarella and saltarello (Central-Southern Italy), a land rich in history, folk songs and archaic instruments like the bagpipe and shawm. The essential feature of the group is the interaction of these ancient traditional instruments with modern instruments, a popular trip from central Italy. The songs are the result of research of the singer Benedetto Vecchio, and they tell, with great rhythm, popular culture events such as harvesting, superstition, brigandage, war and emigration.

In other words who listens to the concert of MBL rediscovers and re-contextualizes the tradition of modern civilization.
Eugenio Bennato said: "The appeal launched some years ago by my Disk 'Brigante se more' has become an appeal over time, a signal of a call to the collection of ancient and modern brigands.
Among them there is, in fact, the musician Benedetto Vecchio who was struck on the road between Naples and Latium, where, through tales, dialects and stones mark the path of a common history, and where you can find, in the tangle of sound waves, polluted by radio and national television, the beating of a pure and pristine primitive rhythm called"taranta", that can launch some unconventional and alternative musics of our country in the great movement of contemporary world music ...

"Terra di Fuoco" is a project that stems from a cultural and historical study of Bendetto Vecchio, performed ​​in collaboration with some of the most experienced Italians and foreign researchers and historians, over different years and then to find his form in music the album "Terra di Fuoco", thanks to the decisive contribution of Musicisti Basso Lazio (MBL). On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of unification of Italy (1861-2011) the Southern question and the problem of post-unit Brigandage, exploded violently in reaction to the invasion of the Kingdom of the South by the Piedmontese army, are still under of discussion and division. The brigand Domenico Fuoco was the last to fall, and he was killed in a cave, on the night between 16 and 17 August 1870, the mountains on the border between Latium, Abruzzi and Molise. History seems to repeat itself again in 1943-44 the "fire", again a "borderline" inthe same area: this time, however,it is a war of far-reaching "world": the "Gustav Line", a barrier built by Nazi Germany to block the advance of the allies in Italy, passed not far from the border of the South. "Terra di Fuoco" is placed against a major goal of the new generations: first, to perpetuate the memory of these events, the other the hope that it can learn from and build their future based on peace and mutual respect, believing that wars have always been and always will be injured for humanity.
