Dante Bucci fuses world music and melodic indie rock with his pioneering approach to the Handpan (“Hang Drum”).
He is a fixture in the Philly indie music scene and one of the most-recognized Handpan players in the world, thanks to a constantly-expanding list of subscribers and over 8 million viewers on his YouTube channel (youtube.dantebucci.com).
A relatively new invention, the Handpan (a.k.a. “Hang Drum”) is a melodic, inverted steel percussion instrument born in Bern, Switzerland, circa 2000. The Handpanlooks like a steel drum crossed with a UFO, and has its own distinctive voice that draws comparisons to steel pans, harps, and even synthesizers. Each instrument sings its own harmony, with a root in the center and a scale arrayed around the circumference. The resulting sound makes it perfect as background music for a gallery opening or as an indelible lead singer at a rock concert.
The unique features of the Handpan are a perfect match for Dante’s eclectic musical history. In college he picked up every instrument in sight - from guitars to bass flutes to conga drums. He quickly emerged as an in-demand percussionist, which lead to nearly a decade of fruitful collaboration with dozens of local Philadelphia artists.
