Mimmo Epifani is an accomplished Italian mandolinist and singer hailing from San Vito dei Normanni in the culturally rich Salento region of Puglia. Early in his career, he collaborated with prominent Italian folk and neo-roots musicians such as Eugenio Bennato and was involved with influential groups like Musicanova and Taranta Power. Epifani’s musical foundation was shaped under the mentorship of barber-musician Constantino Vita — a nod to which he named his band, the Epifani Barbers. Further honing his skills, he earned a classical mandolin degree from the University of Padua. His work uniquely reflects the diverse musical traditions of Puglia, and he has released several respected albums showcasing his vibrant blend of pizzica and other regional sounds.
Known for his confident leadership and distinctive vocal style, Mimmo Epifani has firmly established himself as a key figure in contemporary Italian folk music. His recent releases, including tracks like "Zucchini Flowers" and "Mosse Mosse Mosse," continue to celebrate and innovate the musical heritage of Salento while reaching wider audiences beyond Italy. Epifani’s music delivers a lively and authentic taste of southern Italy’s deep-rooted folk culture with modern energy and finesse.
