Biography

Passion, Passion, resistance, roots and innovation are the words that come to mind when describing Yo Yo Mundi, a five-piece band from Acqui Terme, a tiny spot on the hills and vineyards of Monferrato in the North of Italy.

Their musical journey is somewhere in between folk and rock. It’ s not easy to fit them in a genre because they often play with traditional as well as innovative sounds. The accordian is surely part of their sound in the best of folk traditions, although they are not your traditional folk band. Yo Yo Mundi begin their musical journey by writing a song inspired by the European cycle race Flèche de Wallonie.

Their first record came out in 1994 titled La Diserzione degli Animali del Circo and saw the participation of Brian Ritchie and Gordon Gano of Violent Femmes and the innovative guitarist and producer Michael Brook (who worked with U2, Pogues, David Sylvian, Peter Gabriel). Brian Ritchie produced four tracks of the album, Gordon Gano sang and played violin in “Sitting in Silence”, while Michael Brook played his infinite guitar in two songs. Unrestrained songs, born from a melancholic province, acoustic basses and accordions, pocket tales about animals escaping from the circus, contortionists and children who in a slaughter-house discover the darkest sides of life: these are the themes of the album.

The second record is Bande Rumorose, an album with twelve new songs together with four songs from the first album completely re-arranged to make up an extraordinary melting-pot of committed songs, psycho-folk and rock.

    Li ho scoperti oggi grazie all'intervista che hanno rilasciato a Rai News. Non il solito folk, ne "combat rock".
