Travel or pilgrimage songs, stories about fantastic encounters in natural environments of extraordinary beauty.
One of the most important composer and interpreter of popular italian music, Raffaello Simeoni is a tireless author but also a researcher of Sabina's area traditional musical materials.
Raffaello's voice sings invocations and hymns to mother Nature, love songs and lullabies as a modern Orfeus would do.

“Every day I search for a light, a shadow, and I weave these wandering hands together, pick colors and melodies from the world, mix and match them, compose various tints that become stories, sounds… and rock, trees, fantastic beasts too”.
Raffaello Simeoni

One of the most important composer and interpreter of popular italian music, Raffaello Simeoni is a tireless author but also a researcher of Sabina's area traditional musical materials, for this reason he's coming back with a brand new project called Orfeo Incantastorie.
Simeoni begins with the ancient. traditional culture linked to this particular Italian's area which was deeply characterized by some elements of Franciscan culture just like travel or pilgrimage songs, stories about fantastic encounters in natural environments of extraordinary beauty. All these elements contribute to the creation of a narrative plot filled of poetic emotion.
Raffaello's voice sings invocations and hymns to mother Nature, love songs and lullabies as a modern Orfeus would do, generating an imaginary painting which fascinates and excites the public.
By the way all the illustrations of the CD cover were made by Raffaello himself.
