It was formed in early 2015 in Thessaloniki by Pierpaolo Sicuro, a musician and musicologist known for his contribution to the traditional music of Salento (Southern Italy). It consists of six people who come from different musical cultures. The name “Grikanta” comes from the words “griko” (or “grecanico” which is the Greek dialect of Italian) and “canta” (to sing). Grikanta’s music has the melodiousness of the Greek dialect and the power of the rhythm of Pizzica, which is a type of music used as a remedy for spider bites in southern Italy.
