Abash

Abash is an Italian band from Puglia that was formed in 1998 on the basis of the interest for a "new wave" of Salento's ethnic and popular music (like Tarante and Pizzica). Looking for their own musical identity, Abash tried to blend African obsessive and tribal rhythms and Oriental melodies with Italian traditional folklore and rock. The result is a very peculiar and atypical "Mediterranean progressive rock".
