**AGADEZ is an Italian singer-songwriter and composer, passionate about the Sacred Feminine and Archeo-Mythology.** **In her collaborations with Willem Dafoe, Franco Battiato, Marina Abramovic, and Robert Wilson, she explored the intersections of cinema, music, and performance, intertwining spiritual research with artistic expression. This led to a solo musical work that, while rooted in world music, transcends genres to create syncretic and evocative atmospheres.** **Her instruments of choice are voice, frame drum, and guitar. Her sounds evoke archaic mythologies and tribal worlds.** **In 2023, she wrote and composed her first solo album, QUEENDOMS, conceived as a musical journey through the archaic feminine cults that followed the primordial one of the Great Mother – with the contribution of musicians such as Angélique Kidjo, Glen Velez, and Loire Cotler (the voice of DUNE).** **In 2024, she began collaborating with Antonio Forcione, an internationally renowned composer and guitarist. QUEENDOMS Unplugged is the result of their encounter — a new acoustic version of the album. In 2026, AGADEZ began a collaboration with Mauro Durante, expanding the musical and ritual language of her research in the world of Taranta.** **QUEENDOMS at DROM will feature a lineup brought together for the first time in a musical ritual led by AGADEZ and Mauro Durante — a voyage through the Sacred Feminine of the Mediterranean, from the ancient goddesses of QUEENDOMS to those of Taranta, all to the beat of Sacred Drums.** **Mauro Durante (violinist, percussionist and composer) is a visionary inheritor of the folk roots of his native Salento, in Italy’s Puglia region. He leads the internationally acclaimed and award-winning Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino (founded in 1975 by Durante’s family), playing in all major world music festivals. Durante is considered as a key figure in reinventing pizzica music for today, making “Taranta” the most vibrant and relevant form of Italian roots music.**
