The Profile

Italian group from the Cosenza area blending Calabrian tarantella and folk with world influences (tango, flamenco, reggae, even a house remix). Known for energetic live shows and tours across southern Italy and abroad to diaspora communities. The lineup, once a ‘fake’ quartet and later a septet, features notable contributions such as Rosa Mazzei (flute), Michele Petrone (bass), Roberto Bozzo (tambourines) and Arcangelo Pagliaro (percussion).

Active with studio albums documented between 2010 and 2013. From Calabria (Cosenza area). Genres span taranta, folk, world music and folk rock. Frequently praised for live performances. Repertoire mixes traditional songs, new compositions, and adaptations of classic texts (e.g., García Lorca; tribute to Vittorio Butera).

Reviews portray Sabatum Quartet as a Calabrian group blending taranta and folk with world flavors and occasional folk-rock grit. Flute, mandolin and tambourines define their sound, with drums and electric guitars more present on Tessere. Lyrics range from regional roots to social themes, and critics emphasize their powerful live presence. Activity documented across albums from 2010 to 2013.
