Maremoto is a journey across cultural and geographical boundaries, whose partecipants share the feeling of stretching both kinds of borders while moving through them. A CD and a DVD keep track of this story by means of music and images. It happens in the Adriatic sea, going backwards along the timeline in search of what preceeded its diaspora.
The trip stops in Dubrovnik, Durazzo and Tirana, last stop is in Otranto: one stage at each harbour, a concert on every stage, in the places where music has always had the possiblity of traveling and changing, where leaving and arriving people meet each other, with faces and languages in continuous mutation, in eternal search for a possible landing place.
The seaquake ("maremoto") stirs the currents and a landing takes place in the experience of meeting up with the Voix Bulgare (Eva Quartet) and with musicians from Albania (Bojken Lako, Redi and Ekland Hasa), Croatia (Ivo Letunic, Mateo Martinovic and the Klapa "Otok") and Istria (Dario Marusic).
Brought together by the sea, these musicians meet up on a ship and bring back to Salento a heritage of half-cast cultures which are somehow already part of the landscape: Salento, during the centuries, has been the target of several invasions and landings, land of conquers and exchange, a symbol for migrant cultures. In this trip, the musicians experience the encounter of sounds and languages that can eventually find a common ground of exchange and confrontation. They share the difficulties and times of orienting and navigation through the vaste sea of traditions in which they grew up and through which they are slowly traveling, trying to talk to each other.
