Music
Queendoms is a journey into the archaic female cults that followed the primordial one of the Mother Goddess. The cult of the Goddess has crossed all civilisations, a single essence that changes shape, to the rhythm of sacred drums. Each song is dedicated to a goddess, evoking her world, invoking her powers. Agadez composed it to induce a state of trance. Antonio Forcione plays guitar like a shaman uses his drum: his contribution enhances the shamanic qualities of Agadez's music. Queendoms live is the result of their collaboration: a concert conceived as a ritual.
