"Francesco Loccisano and Andrea Piccioni do not use any Italo hit clichés and swaying tarantella sounds... The result is an Italophile musical-historical journey with all kinds of surprises. Fantastic!"
Fredi Hallauer, Muzik Global (GE)
"...One can only listen in amazement. These sounds have enormous power ... This is a very strong and surprising musical path. To Listen To."
Ohrenschmauch, DE
“...great musical experiment in presenting these instruments, used for centuries, as modern and contemporary...”
"...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)
"...magical Tamburo e Voce. An important record that points a direction for those interested in staying with their feet in the roots, but with their minds towards new sonic perspectives."
ALESSANDRO NOBIS (Folkbullettin)
Four wizards of percussion.
STEFAN FRANZE (Badische Zeitung, DE)
Masterful percussionists playing off the beaten path.
RASMUS KLOCLJUNG (Lira, SE)
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".
