Marino De Rosas

Marino de Rosas is a self-taught Sardinian guitarist who developed his own method of interpreting his region's ageless folk songs and melodies. Using an open-C tuning method and an unusual fingerpicking technique, he has been able to render the old songs with a deeper understanding of their essences as both sound and lyrical forms. Accompanying his guitar is an array of traditional instruments made from reeds, bones, walnuts, and clay; from percussion instruments to membranophones (skin drums) and aerophones
