Cratere Centrale, a Sicilian band formed between the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna and the urban area of Catania, debuts on Roots Underground with an EP consisting of five tracks with a strongly Mediterranean flavour in which jazz, funk and club culture come together for a surprising result.

Cratere Centrale is the Sicilian band founded by Dario Aiello and Andrea Normanno, musicians / DJs and producers from Catania who share a passion for club culture as much as that for funk and jazz. Along with Daniele Salamone on keyboards and Cristiano Giardini on sax, they mix funk and jazz with broken beat, house and hip hop rhythms.Visceral influenced by the magmatic forces that dominate Etna, the band has a fiery, transversal vision of the groove with an attitude to explore the entire existing musical spectrum from top to bottom. By combining their different musical backgrounds, these four guys from Cratere Centrale have been able to create a unique mix that fuses the Mediterranean jazz fusion tradition of the past with the freshest and most current sounds of contemporary clubbing, for a result that will be confirmed by this release of their debut on Roots Underground records.Dario Aiello - GuitarAndrea Normanno - DrumsDaniele Salamone - Keyboards and Synth BassCristiano Giardini - Sax and Percussion
