Pharmakos

In the ancient Greek's cities and in the bunches of Bonobo monkeys, "Pharmakos" are diadvantaged members by physical and mental ability that both embody the roles of outcasts and saviors from the community. Pharmakos band is composed by members disadvantaged too, and comes out from the wet lagoon of Venice between 2009 and 2010.

Born with the aim of playing Ska music, the members realize that they can't keep playing the same musical genre for more than one minute, and start digress among the most different influences, mostly coming from disadvantaged countries like Jamaica, Argentine, Chile, Brasil and Porto Marghera. The result is a "mestizo" kind of music, dirty and full of influences from Reggae, Dub, Samba, Ska, Dancehall, Salsa, Rumba, Punk, Funk and any other kind of music that reaches their insatiable ears.

With admirable dexterity they master Italian, Venetian, Spanish, English and Patois, each one so badly that it results hard to distinguish one from another. They offer an ironic and energetic show that will test your legs and your pelvis very hardly.
