Italian Powerhouse Kamafei to Bring the Tantalizing Sounds of Pizzica to Rainforest World Music Festival 2011

Italian band Kamafei is scheduled to perform July 8th at the Rainforest World Music Festival 2011. Kamafei is a south Italian powerhouse from Salento, playing traditional pizzica-pizzica music built on the frenzied rhythm of the tambourine. This is dance music pure and simple, but Kamafei also add influences of reggae, dub, rock, flamenco and hip-hop to create their untamed, infectious, unique sound.

With the utmost respect for their tradition, Kamafei also make use of technology, yet with no exaggeration, and always with a harmonious musical balance. Expect the unexpected, expect high energy, and expect great music, as Kamafei delivers you the heart and soul of southern Italy.

Kamafei is a compound word in Greek dialect meaning “flowing heat”, the heat that flows in their veins in every season; the heat that they try to transmit to the audience, and which they get back in concerts becoming enthralling, frenzied parties.

Kamafei’s show is enjoyable, intense, innovative, and yet it never loses the sound of tradition. Through their music you will understand their bonds to tradition, to their land, as well as their need and desire to discover other cultures and other musical experiences

So put on your dancing shoes and join Kamafei at the 14th edition of the Rainforest World Music Festival 2011 which will bring dazzling performances from across the globe as festival-goers flock for three magical days of daytime music workshops and action-packed nightly shows.
