Khaossia started their career in 2005 wanting to promote Salento’s traditional music, with pizzica at its core. Soon the band moved to produce original pieces. The philosophy behind all of Khaossia’s projects is to begin with Salento’s history, culture and tradition to explore sounds that are old and new, near and far. Through this musical exploration, Khaossia looks for a suitable vehicle to bring back to light dusty and forgotten pages of Salento’s history. 	Khaossia has always enjoyed critical acclaim for their efforts to bring back and give a new interpretation to Salento’s history and tradition. Their work as been reviewed, amongst others, by  Froots, Folkbulletin, Songlines, Radio Popolare, Radio Onda d'Urto, Radio Rai 3 Suite, Radio Rai1, WFMA, FEBC. In its 10 years, the ethno ensemble has performed  widely both in Italy (La Notte della Taranta 2005;  Ponchielli Theatre in Cremona 2006; Appennino Folk Festival 2007, Isola Folk 2007; Festival del Cambonino 2007,2008,2009; Festival Folk Di Cremona, 2010; Fek Festival 2010; V Rassegna di Musica Popolare di Settimo Milanese, 2012; 27° e 28° Festival Internazionale W.A.

	In 2010, Khaossia completed their first tour of the USA, playing at the prestigious Art Museum of Philadelphia, amongst others. In 2011, Khaossia began the production of "Le Grechesche", which was published in 2012 for the University of Salento, CNI and CPC. They toured the US again in April and October 2012, performing in New York and Philadelphia.  In 2013, they released their fourth album, EOS, a project based on the story of Salento’s girl Giulia My and the Romanian painter Zivi Miller, a Jew who survived the Nazi concentration camps. The show was premiered in 2013, during Khaossia’s fourth tour of the US, at the San Diego’s Italian Film Festival in California. In August 2013, Khaossia were invited by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki to deliver a lecture/concert on the subject of “Sea and Music: an intercultural journey across 16th century Italy and Greece". In 2014, they opened the prestigious international festival W.A. Mozart of Rovereto, temple of European classical music. Following their success, they return in 2015. 2014 sees them back in Thessaloniki to deliver a lecture to EMUNI students on the subject of: “Project Magellano: genesis of a show inspired by the Report of the first journey around the world by Antonio Pigafetta, knight of Rhodes”.

A weekly show presented by a small, rag-tag group of friends with a common love of musics with folk and country sensibilities. We take turns playing records, airing exclusive sessions and live recordings while attempting to join the whole with liberal helpings of hokum and questionable insight as we share our latest obsessions with one another.

Since modest beginnings in 2005, we've been crafting Simple Folk Radio as a way to champion live music, to promote artists, 'outsider' or otherwise, who are in no danger of bothering the pop charts anytime soon, who you may never have stumbled across if a loved one hadn't ranted about their merits in the late snug of an alehouse, and then to float their art aloft upon the airwaves.

We'd like to invite you to listen because we've admired you from afar as someone who clearly appreciates that, in these end times of psychic armageddon and pop tart meltdown, there's primal joys and a perverse warmth to be had from gathering with like minds to enjoy stringed instruments and naked songs of lust, wonder, despair and Herculean drinking.

we broadcast live every Wednesday tea-time from 6 O'clock till 8, with a couple of re-run slots thrown in for good measure, on www.radioreverb.com
