Guappecarto is a quintet of Italian musicians with a sensitive and powerful universe. Born in the streets and cafés-concerts of Italy almost 10 years ago, the group devoted itself to gypsy and traditional music from the South of Italy before composing its own repertoire, open and nurtured to Mediterranean musicalities.
A violin, an accordion, a guitar, a double bass, percussion. The Guappecarto play as they live, with spontaneity, generosity, Italian class, a cabaret-punk side of another time that Fellini could have filmed. From Italy, they keep the roots, a presence, a stamp. From gypsy culture, they take on enthusiasm, a form of confrontation with life, a movement without borders. In this way, the music of Guappecarto undeniably opens up the imaginations and the story boxes.
