About Guappecartó

Guappecartó is a quintet of Italian musicians with a sensitive and powerful universe. Born in the streets and concert cafés of Italy almost 10 years ago, the group devoted itself to the gypsy and traditional music of southern Italy before composing its own repertoire, open and nourished by Mediterranean musicalities. A violin, an accordion, a guitar, a double bass, percussion. The Guappecartó play as they live, with this spontaneity, this generosity, this Italian class, a cabaret-punk side from another time that Fellini could have filmed. From Italy, they retain their roots, a presence, a certain cachet. From gypsy culture, they borrow the passion, a form of confrontation with life, a movement without borders. In this way, Guappecartó's music undeniably opens imaginations and story boxes... Sambol, the new album to be released in the 2019-2020 season, is a new step in their creative process. Born from the meeting with Mirjam Sambol, this opus originates from the compositions of Vladimir Sambol, a composer of Croatian origin, who fled his hometown and his country because of the Second World War. Through this new album, the Guappecartó pay tribute to this "emigrant love", which fears neither barriers nor travel, and which transcends space and time, and is passed down from father to daughter.
