TThese same experiments have been proposed in the form of performances and presentations in various places sicilian and not sicilian. The group makes use of typical instruments of the sicilian folk as friscalettu, bummulu, maranzanu, drum, tambourine, mandolin as well as some tools that arrived in the Sicilian culture, although in the last century, have become an essential part of Sicilian folklore same (guitar, accordion and acoustic bass).
