Handala now
An exceptional musical project, an ever-evolving experience of musical blending: this is Hàndala.
The band starting in 1989 within an international cooperation project, has been leaded, for more than 20 years, by its inspirer and composer David Petrosino, together with many musicians, both Arabs and Italians, that participated through the years, and made links of collaboration with various artists.
The tale of the band Hàndala, for it’s nature of merger, for it’s human and artistic ‘blending’, is a chance to see Palestine and the middle-east from a different point of view.
At the same time the contaminated and contaminating nature of Handala’s work let them share this sight and this exchange in widely various sites: European Festivals, Schools, Clubs, the UN building in Geneve, the little Church, Social Centres, Theatres, the Campidoglio in Rome, Universities, Events, public Squares…
