About Me

MODENA CITY RAMBLERS

Modena City Ramblers are an important and consolidated phenomenon on the Italian rock music scene. They are the most important Italian band that mixes folk and “world” influences with ska and rock. They hold concerts before huge audiences and have sold more than half a million copies of their CDs in the last twelve years.
The band made up of people who share a dream: music is one of the paths that could lead to Utopia. This belief has come from the lessons of the masters of folk music along with the philosophy of the punk revolution.
This music is rich in colour. There’s the mandolin drawn from Italian folklore and the Celtic tin whistle. There’s Woody Guthrie’s guitar and the Latin
and African percussion of the slave workers of the two Continents. There’s the power of the electric guitar and the drums and there’s also the rhythm of the violin and bouzuki and the strength of singing influenced by punk. There’s also love for The Pogues, The Clash and Mano Negra and, in the lyrics, passion for Latin-American contemporary literature, from Gabriel Garcia Marquez to Luis Sepúlveda. The result of all this is the so-called Celtic patchanka.
Nowadays the Ramblers are heading towards a place, which belongs as a right to everybody, that is nowhere but somewhere along the path to achieving it. After all “nowhere” is the meaning of the word utopia and as the Mexican writer, and a band’s close friend, Paco Ignacio Taibo II put it “you can’t live without utopia”. This statement is evidently also a truth in the minds of the thousands of people who follow and enjoy the Ramblers gigs!
