Assurd
Italy
Southern Italy is one of the richest European musical sources. Serenade, tarantella, the healing rhythms of pizzica originated here. Assurd is an all-star-band featuring three most powerful female voices from the region, fusing pagan Dionysian rituals with tambourines, acapella singing and powerful accordion driven rhythms strong enough to cure victims of tarantula spiders. The natural leader of the band is Cristina Vetrone, nicknamed as "female Tom Waits" of south Italian trance music.
