Critically acclaimed guitarist exploring world music and ethnomusicology through the nylon string guitar.

Mario Lino Stancati: musician, composer, vocal performer.

Samhadã is a world music project and a fusion of unclassifiable sound of its kind.
The group was born from the passion and the union of three musicians in its original lineup: Massimo Amato, Andrea Candeloro and Danilo Li Vigni.
Is the result of an intense musical research lasted for years, in the course of time and during live and recording sessions, several musicians are flanked and alternate each time expanding ideas and possibilities.
Samhadã born and developed as the meeting of world music, performed with traditional instruments from different traditions, such as Indian, African and European.
Songs and traditional rhythms, the composition of which goes back centuries if not millennia in the past, blend the most modern atmospheres of synthesized sounds or progressive music.
Instruments from Africa like the kora, from India as the tabla or pakhawaj, from Persia as the santur, join the electric bass, piano and percussion. Voices and flutes, harmonium and melodic, there are so many ideas and so many still more to come.
Samhadã born as the achievement of a sound that takes from everything, but in nothing can be classified. This arrival of musical maturity is therefore the starting point for a new journey.
Currently, the Samhadã members play and record each session in a live, so they are all unique and unrepeatable improvisation of their kind.
Good listening…

"Burtt stands at a crossroads; Appalachia and Africa" -Corey Harris

"Peter brings the instrument home in a spare, unpretentious performance of songs. Burtt a pleasing, dust dry voice well suited to blues and balladry. Burtt performs with understated intensity and at his best creates a powerful mood. There's nothing didactic or overreaching here, just strong, honest performances by a troubadour whose world is wide open."
-Banning Eyre

"The eerily evocative voice and Kora tonalities acheived by Burtt are absolutely astonishing. The kind of music you want to hear on a surf trip from anywhere to anywhere."
-Drew Kampion
