Roy Paci is a multipede. He plays trumpet with Manu Chao, has his own successful ska-formation Aretuska (last year to be seen at Lowlands) and just as easy accompanies Italian avant-garde musicians Christina Zavaloni and Stefano Maltese. At the festival he will also play in an avant-garde setting. Besides Paci the trio Trionacria is made up of two of the most interesting players of Sicily; sax player Gianni Gebbia and the polyrhythmic drummer Francesco Cusa. It is a progressive band that dares to make choices, like the dismissing of a bass. The music of this threesome is all about melodic lines and an intense way of ensemble playing at a high plane. More can be heard on their album The Mystic Revelation.
