Mai Mai Mai

About

MAI MAI MAI is an Audio/Video project by Toni Cutrone, weaving together the sounds and imagery of a dark journey through the traditions and folklore of Southern Italy and the Mediterranean . It delves into the sonic exploration of the interplay between pagan rituals and Catholicism, nature and magic in rural life, utilizing archival sounds and field recordings alongside collaborations with contemporary "avant/ethnic" musicians such as Vera di Lecce, Lino Capra Vaccina, Maria Violenza, Youmna Saba, Mike Cooper, Nziria, Go Dugong... It embodies a Mediterranean Hauntology that, far from being merely nostalgic, loudly awakens those Spectres it speaks of and summons them to accompany us in our daily lives. Mai Mai Mai has releases out on Boring Machines, Yerevan Tapes, Not Not Fun, God Unknown, Instruments of Disciplines, La Tempesta International, Maple Death Records, WV Sorcerer Production...
