InChanto was born in the first half of 1990’s thanks to the common passion of the members for ancient music and for traditional music resonances. Since the very beginning, the aim was to develop a personal repertoire, inspired by the place of origin: the land of Tuscany. Tuscany as the keeper of its own, deeply rooted, culture, and also a land receptive to other cultures, being a land of passage as well as a welcoming land favoured by many, these cultures can be recognized and absorbed, and so be interwoven crossing and compared. The songs the group composes do not come therefore from a strictly philological or formal research, but from the desire to offer original music, rooted both in european folk, and in the musical and literary culture of the Italian Renaissance. This “alchemic sound”, strained through a mediterranean sensitivity, can evoke atmospheres balanced between old and modern, popular and cultured, in which the texts, composed in various languages or inspired by medieval lyrics, are very important.

Project - The "Città sottili" (Thin cities) are those coming in front of a traveller of calvinian memory while he is looking at the horizon line, where the sky and the earth mix up: the cities of our "past" and of our "present", but also the cities of the dream - where our experienced life is mixed up with the lives that we would have lived, out of time and space. Thin, as the line dividing day and night, reality and illusion, love and hate...ingeniousness and insanity.
