Parafonè

MODERN GRIOTS OF CALABRIA

SHORT BIO

The exhilarating drive of Parafonè's music is as good as anything coming from Africa. With five albums in their repertoire and a whopping fifteen years of stage swagger, Parafonè are the undisputed veterans of southern Italian world music circuit, and an electrifying festival band.

 

But these modern griots from Calabria aren't content with just strumming old melodies. They are on a mission to whisk you away on a tarantella-infused journey, spicing things up with flavors from across northern Africa and the Mediterranean.  

 

Prepare for a whirlwind tour through the hidden gems and inspiring tales of their picturesque region, where the roots of music run deep into the past, present, and future between two seas, high mountain cliffs, and a beautiful wilderness.  

Get ready for their new album to be released in 2025.

You won't want to miss a beat!
