Description
The project Cassandra was born in 1996 in Rovereto.
Starting from a common background that includes artists like Japan, David Sylvian, Brian Eno, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Mick Karn, Cassandra have developed a type of sound where you see references to ethnic Indian music, Eastern music, new wave '80s, ambient, electronic and nujazz.
Research music and new ways of expression led the group to prefer the comparison with other forms of art, such as poetry, dance and the visual arts.
In recent years the emphasis has been placed in search of new collaboration with representatives of other forms of art.
Cassandra also cooperate with associations for the collection of funds for humanitarian and social projects. One of the main reasons of the birth of Cassandra project is to consider the music, and art in general, as a tool to awaken the social and spiritual consciousness, supporting the idea of RAWA (Renaissance Artists and Writers Association
www.ru.org/rawa').
Recently Cassandra had the privilege of opening the only Italian date of the ''Baba's Mystical Tour''in Verona.
