Who is Taz, the Brigand of Thoroughfare?
Taz is a Brigand, Polyinstrumentalist and Singer, founder of the Tribal Folk Band Cisalvikings and performing a Neo-Dark Folk project from Northern Italy, forged by years of dust and road as a street performer, busker, and musician across the most prominent Celtic and re-enactment festivals. He is the outcome of a life lived on the move, where the music isn’t just a performance, but a survival instinct.
As the “Brigand of Thoroughfare,” Taz represents the union of two contrasting worlds. He brings together soft, elegant soundscapes with the raw, ancestral timbres of the Celtic tradition. In his music, classical instruments find their strength in popular and folk roots, breathing life into melodies that are as nostalgic as they are profound.
His sound is a constant evolution—a single path where flutes, harps, guitars, strings, and bagpipes merge into an ever-changing flow. It is a music that transforms without ever abandoning its origin, offering an intimate and visceral experience.
Listening to Taz is like taking a lonesome walk between shifting sounds and deep emotions, a journey for those who aren’t afraid to lose themselves outside the beaten track.
