pangea

"Pangea" was founded as an acoustic band in 2006 thanks to the bassist Riccardo Brancolini and to the singer and guitarist Dario Martorana. In a short time also the drummer Marouane Massat joined them. In perfect balance between harmony and dissonance, pangea succeeds in giving birth to an atypical sound and at the same time in being involving, bitter and sweet, detaching from any type of music standardization. The "pangea project" can be described as in continuous growth. The natural complementariness between the ideas and the music styles of the three members allowed the band to create a mixed music, which was the basis for the following two years of live experimentations. Last year several live shows, for example, gave the band the chance of refining and broaden the musicians’ previous stock of music knowledge. The incentives offered by the emotions and the spontaneous arrangements of each member in the niche shows, pushed the band to prefer the live performance in order to create new melodic inventions: It is through the jazz, blues, rock, funk, indies, folk undertones that pangea is fully expressed.
