"...spectacular... an overflowing vitality, a remarkable compositional strength." 

 GUIDO FESTINESE (Il Manifesto)

" ...a path of ideas, within which condenses his vision and his passion for an inclusive music, even if sedimented through an experience of study and research that here deposits wonderful fruits."

 DANIELE CESTELLINI (Blogfoolk)

The original drumming inspired by the Sufi tradition of the "dervish of frame drums" Murat Coşkun, the technical virtuosity and lyricism of the Israeli voice Zohar Fresco, the iconic sound of the rituals of the American shamans of Glen Velez and the rhythms of Italian folk music combined with his experiences in jazz by Andrea Piccioni, are the ingredients of "Masters Of Frame Drums".
