"This instrument allowed me to develop new aspects of my technique, which are very hard to apply to mass-produced instruments..." — Mirco Mungari
Ancient World Music is a genre that expands swiftly with new musicians from all over the world, and SEIKILO Channel is committed to supporting and introducing them one by one to an ever-expanding audience!
In this video, let's visit Bologna in Italy to meet Mirco Mungari, a master percussionist with post-degree studies in classical archaeology, and a profound interest in music archaeology. Mirco talks about his journey so far as an ancient world musician and researcher, while discussing the importance of having a premium frame-drum in your hand, with deep sound, adaptable to different playing techniques, and easy to play. He performs for us on his LUTHIEROS frame drum, masterfully handcrafted in Greece by the Koumartzis family.
