IDDA

Once upon a time in rural Sicily music used to rhythm people's everyday life.
Ethnomusicological field recordings from the 1960s until the 1990s reveal precious sicilian musical and literary gems. 
Incantations, orisons, ritual and work songs. Images imbued with a feeling of a profound and almost fearful respect for the majestic sacredness of nature.

IDDA weaves imaginary plots with ease. IDDA explores a magical repertoire filled with legends, sounds, impulses of a Sicily blossomed from myth.

IDDA is a modern reminiscence.

The vocal intensity of Maura Guerrera and the hypnotic soundscapes of Daniele Del Monaco create larges sound-paintings that flow into feverish rhythms, sunny openings, delicates counterpoints, psalmodies and sinuous melodies. A song of syllables of a secret language. Stolen. Desired.
