Raiz
Raiz (born Raffaele "Lele" Benedetto) is the charismatic frontman of Italian trip-hop pioneers Almamegretta and a solo artist blending Naples' rich musical heritage with global beats. The Neapolitan musician became a cultural icon through his work merging dub, electronica, and traditional tarantella rhythms since the 1990s, often infusing his lyrics with social commentary and Mediterranean soul. His recent multilingual releases like "Napoli C.Le/Düsseldorf" and Russian-titled "Звёзды" showcase his ongoing fascination with cross-cultural pollination, while tracks such as "Fa Ammore Cu'mme" and "Si l'ammore è o cuntrario d''a morte" keep rooted in Neapolitan dialect traditions. From collaborating with Manu Chao to soundtrack work for Gomorrah, Raiz continues evolving as Italy's answer to musical alchemists like Manu Chao or Tricky, crafting what he calls "global folk" that's equally at home in underground clubs and piazzas.
