The courageous and more than successful encounter between the most ancient traditional Sardinian music and the experiments of contemporary electronic music, now at its first in the capital: tomorrow at 6.30 pm at the Teatro Massimo " Tumbarinos in Dub " will be staged, a collaborative project signed by Arrogalla and Tumbarinos de Gavoi and branded Medinsard , the musical production centre of Sardegna Concerti .
Arrogalla, alias of producer Francesco Medda, is no stranger to the intersection of ethnic, folk, and popular music with electronica and, above all, the beloved dub . With the ancient instruments and timeless rhythms of Tumbarinos de Gavoi, he has found a new frontier for his music. The soundscapes they created together reinvent memory , allowing Sardinian beats and dances to breathe side by side, with tumbarinos, pipiolus, accordions, and vocalizations in Sardinian intersecting with samples, synthesizers, and electroacoustic interference. A rediscovery of roots, with a forward-looking perspective , which highlights how the island's traditional sounds are capable of dialoguing with the latest trends.
Arrogalla's musical productions now begin a new chapter with Tumbarinos, in a career of remarkable versatility and relentless activity, which has brought him together in the past with Michela Murgia, Elena Ledda, Davide Toffolo (Tre Allegri Ragazzi Morti), and many others. And cosmopolitan sounds remain central, as does an artistic discourse rooted in identity, which finds its necessary contribution in the authentic folk expression of Tumbarinos.
