A Mediterranean fantasy set ablaze with Afro-beat
The Rhabdomantic Orchestra is an adventurous ensemble that plays everything from Afrobeat, spiritual jazz, southern melodies, to salsa, kraut-rock and Yoruba percussion. The nine Turin-based musicians sketch out an unbridled, sensual Mediterranean fantasy, inspired by surrealist aesthetics and Latin American magic realism. Led by multi-instrumentalist Manuel Volpe and the voice of Colombian singer Maria Mallol Moya, the band alternates between the sensuous atmospheres and the frenetic rhythms of a migratory Afro-beat – fiercely groovy.
