The Palermo, Italy-based worldbeat group Agricantus took their nominate from the Latin saying for "song of the wheat fields"; their rank includes Giuseppe Panzeca (vocals, mandolins, sitar, early stringed instruments), Tonj Acquaviva (keyboards, samples/programming, vocals, and a vast array of percussion section instruments) Rosie Wiederkehr (guitar, vocals, samples/programming), Mario Rivera (bass, keyboards, vocals, samples/programming), and Antonjo Corrado (guitar, keyboards). Agricantus' music combines a dizzying array of traditional humanity euphony forms from crossways the globe not but with each other, merely with club-ready electronic dance grooves, producing a compelling juxtaposition 'tween old and raw. Their first base U.S. handout was the 1999 compilation The Best of Agricantus.
