cd cover Milagro Acustico
Poeti Arabi Di Sicilia (CNI / Rough Trade)

Using the writings Sicilian Arab poets from 827-1091 A.D. the ensemble creates a new, pan-mediterranean sound base with voices, horns, flutes, guitar, percussion, and baglama. They bring North Africa and Sicily together, with bits of the rest of the world as an undertone.

More info:
On the small Sicilian island of Favignana there is a Café where foreigners, emigrants, immigrants, pilgrims and travellers come and sit down to refresh themselves before to continuing their trip towards other destinations. For some of them the Café is the ideal place to hear or tell new stories.

This is the preamble to the new album by Milagro Acustico entitled "I Storie O Café Di Lu Furestiero Novo". The album is inspired by the stories collected in the book of the same title, published in 2005 by Edizioni Interculturali and written by Bob Salmieri, the founder of Milagro Acustico.

Numerous Italian and international musicians collaborated in the making of the album, which was recorded in Rome and Istanbul, together with local musicians. The names of the artists involved includes: Nour Eddine, Pape Kanouté, Jamal Ouassini, Abdalla Mohamed, Pachi Kalipada Adikary, Burak Aziz, Volkan Gucer, Gunay Celik, etc.

The same stories also inspired a previous version of the album that was released in 2002 in the USA by Tinder Records, representing Milagro Acustico’s musical debut. The album was warmly received by international critics and foreign audiences.
