Mario Rivera (Palermo, November 4 1963) is an Italian bassist, composer, and actor, active with various groups in the fields of world music and ethnic music.
Biography
[edit]After earning a diploma in electric bass from the “A. Casella” Conservatory in L'Aquila, over the years he has founded and/or participated in the activities of various ensembles primarily associated with the field of ethnic music[1][2][3]. Throughout his career, he has often combined his purely musical activities (concerts, composition, studio work) with acting, both in theater and in film and television.
Music
[edit]Over the years, his musical career has spanned many different projects; from the founding of the band Agricantus in 1979 to 2025, Rivera has collaborated with musical and theatrical groups and has composed, produced, and created music for film, television, and theater. He has also produced albums for other artists and various remixes in the drum and bass genre.
Agricantus
[edit]In 1979, he was one of the founders of the group Agricantus[4], with whom he performed hundreds of concerts in Italy and around the world and recorded and released 18 albums and countless compilations. Within a few years, Agricantus became a group that represented the voice of Sicilian folk music and Italian world music around the globe, earning prestigious awards such as the Italian Music Award in 1997[5]. The album Tuareg represents a true milestone in the group’s history; it reached sixth place on the World Music Chart Europe[6] and won the Targa Tenco 1996 for best album in dialect[7]. Also in 1997, with Agricantus, he contributed to the soundtrack of Ferzan Özpetek’s first film, Hamam – The Turkish Bath, which marked the beginning of their collaboration with the Genoese composers Pivio and Aldo De Scalzi—a partnership that continues to this day. In 2000, with Agricantus, he composed the soundtrack for the film Placido Rizzotto by Pasquale Scimeca, presented at the 57th Venice Film Festival. The film, dedicated to the Sicilian labor union leader, won, among other awards, the Fedic Award[8], the 2002 Miami Latin Film Festival Award[9], and the Audience Award at the Festival du Cinema Italien de Bastia[10]. In the following years, several tracks produced and recorded with Agricantus were included in countless world music and ethnic music compilations, including *Buddha Bar - Vol. IV*[11] and *Siddharta*[12]. His work with Agricantus continued uninterrupted from 1979 to 2005, when the collaboration was temporarily suspended due to artistic differences with the other members of the group. The artistic journey with Agricantus resumed in 2013 with the release of the single “Uommene – Omini” (produced by CNI with the support of Blob, Legambiente, Amnesty International, and the International Women’s House of Rome)[13]. In 2014, the CD *Turnari* (CNI)[14] was released and presented at the May Day Concert 2014 in Piazza San Giovanni in Rome[15]. In addition to Mario Rivera and Mario Crispi, the lineup featured newcomers Federica Zammarchi (vocals), Giovanni Lo Cascio (percussion, drums), and Giuseppe Grassi (mandola).
In 2016, with Agricantus, he composed and produced the soundtrack for Felicia Impastato by Gianfranco Albano. The film tells the story of Felicia Bartolotta, mother of Peppino Impastato, a Sicilian activist and journalist who was brutally murdered by the Mafia on May 9, 1978, in Cinisi (Pa). The film aired on Rai 1 during prime time on May 10, 2016, attracting 6,871,000 viewers and a 26.98% share[16].
In 2018, they released "Akoustikòs - Vol. 1"[17], an album that marked a significant musical and tonal turning point in the group’s history, in addition to a change in the lineup. The Sicilian band presented a new sound more oriented toward the acoustic and colorful tones typical of world music, without neglecting the use of subtle electronic elements[18]. The new lineup includes Rivera, Crispi, Sicilian singer Anita Vitale, and drummer-percussionist Giovanni Lo Cascio.
In 2025, Rivera decided to leave the Sicilian band for good to focus on his own projects and current and future musical collaborations.
Stefano Saletti & Banda Ikona
[edit]Since 2004, Mario Rivera has been a member of the ethnic music band Banda Ikona[19] (also known as Piccola Banda Ikona), founded and directed by Stefano Saletti, alongside other prominent musicians from the Italian world music scene, including Gabriella Aiello, Barbara Eramo, Gabriele Coen, and Giovanni Lo Cascio. Together with Stefano Saletti, he co-produced the band’s first two CDs, "Stari Most" (2005)[20] and "Marea cu sarea" (2008)[21], and contributed to the other four albums: "Folkpolitik" (2012)[22], "Soundcity" (2016)[23], "Mediterraneo Ostinato" (2021)[24], and "Mediterranima" (2025)[25].
His concert career includes countless live performances in Italy and abroad[26], as well as several special events often linked to the world of theater; Iliad, the Bitter Struggle[27] by Piero Maccarinelli with Manuela Mandracchia, Massimo Popolizio, and featuring Umberto Orsini, Maurizio Donadoni, Luciano Virgilio, Massimo Foschi, and Luca Lazzareschi (2007), Mediterranean Breviary with Predrag Matvejević and Omero Antonutti (2010)[28], Kroton, Lokroi, and Aeneas’s Ship by Giorgio Albertazzi, directed by Andrea Di Bari, with Sergio Basile and Ilaria Genatiempo (2011)[29], From the Women of Myth to Our Lives by and starring Pamela Villoresi (2014)[30], The Mediterranean Is a Woman with Lucilla Galeazzi, Yasemin Sannino, Gabriella Aiello, Francesca Bellino, Nando Citarella, and Pejman Tadayon (2017–2018)[31].
Pippo Pollina
[edit]From 2022 to 2026, Mario Rivera collaborated with the Italian singer-songwriter Pippo Pollina (who is also a co-founder of the Palermo-based band Agricantus). As a double bassist and electric bassist, he took part in the extensive tour promoting the album “Canzoni Segrete” (2022—Jazzhaus Freiburg), which took Pollina’s band (Palermo Acoustic Quintet) across Europe for more than 200 concerts. Spanning Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy, the tour took in some of the continent’s most prestigious stages and theaters, from the Alte Oper in Frankfurt to the Teatro Massimo in Palermo[32], from the KKL in Lucerne[33] to the Isar Philharmonie in Munich, to name just a few.
In 2025, Rivera took part in the tour that saw Pollina collaborate with the Symphony Orchestra of the Zurich Conservatory. For the occasion, the Sicilian singer-songwriter’s repertoire was reimagined and arranged in a classical style, with concerts held in venues such as the Konzerthaus in Vienna, the Meistersingerhalle in Nuremberg, Vittoriale in Gardone Riviera, and the Roman Theater in Fiesole[34].
Ho visto Nina volare
[edit]Ho visto Nina volare (I Saw Nina Fly) is a musical tribute project to Fabrizio De Andrè founded by Raffaela Siniscalchi, Gabriele Coen, Stefano Saletti, and Mario Rivera in 2012[35]. The four musicians, leading figures in the Italian jazz and world music scenes, come together to perform some of the Genoese singer-songwriter’s most beautiful songs, ranging from his best-known hits (Bocca di Rosa, La Canzone di Marinella, La Canzone dell’Amore Perduto, Crêuza de Mä, Un Giudice) to those that have remained somewhat less well-known (Preghiera in Gennaio, Khorakhanè, Ho visto Nina volare), using diverse—yet only seemingly distant—styles such as jazz, ethnic music, and singer-songwriter music, while respecting the incredible poetic world that De André has given us—a world that, now more than ever, resonates with remarkable relevance.
This musical collaboration culminated in the release of a CD published in 2020 by Compagnia Nuove Indye[36].
The quartet Ho visto Nina volare is featured in the play Io, Fabrizio e il Ciocorì by Flavio Brighenti, starring Carmen Giardina and Brighenti himself. The play draws on the professional experience of the Genoese journalist and recounts his personal relationship with Fabrizio De André. The play debuted in Rome at Spazio Rossellini on January 18, 2020.
Other Musical Projects
[edit]At the start of his musical career, in the early 1980s, he was a guitarist for Graziella La Barbera and Serena Lao, both Sicilian folk singers.
In 2006, he played electric bass on the track “Penny Arcades” from the CD Pomeriggi Similabissali by Angelica Sauprel Scutti (Point of View Records)[37].
In 2007, he played electric bass on the track “Un pinseri” from the CD Marilia’s City by Marilia Vesco (C.A.R. Production)[38].
In 2008, he helped form the 7 Sois Orchestra[39], a transnational band created as part of the Sete Sois Sete Luas Festival[40]. The group includes Stefano Saletti (musical director, oud, bouzouki), Margarida Guerreiro (vocals) (Portugal) – Eyal Sela, wind instruments (Israel), Jamal Ouassini, violin (Morocco), Miguel Angel Ramos Ortiz, guitar (Spain), Massimo Cusato, percussion (Italy), and Mario Rivera, electric bass (Italy). That same year, the 7 Sois Orchestra recorded the live CD A Night in Sicily, produced and released by the Festival itself. She toured Europe and Israel with the 7 Sois Orchestra from 2008 to 2010.
In 2009, he participated in the recording and live concert for the album Gli Anni Zero by Ottavia Fusco[41]. That same year, he appeared as a musician-actor in the show *Bang Bang!* by Edoardo Sylos Labini, alongside Sylos Labini himself, Ottavia Fusco, Antonello Aprea, and Gianfranco Mauto[42].
In 2012, he helped form the 7 Sois MedKriol Orchestra[43], another band created as part of the Sete Sois Sete Luas Festival. The group includes José Barros, musical director, vocals, braguesa guitar, acoustic guitar, cavaquinho (Portugal) — Tetè Alinho, vocals and percussion (Cape Verde) — Mimmo Epifani, mandolin (Italy) — Jamal Ouassini, violin (Morocco) — Manuel Cabrales, percussion (Spain) — and Mario Rivera, acoustic bass (Italy). That same year, the 7 Sois MedKriol Orchestra recorded the live CD Live in Alentejo, produced and released by the Festival itself. With the 7 Sois MedKriol Orchestra, he toured Europe and Israel from 2012 to 2013.
Also in 2012, he participated in the recording of the album *ImmagiNaples* by Ottavia Fusco and Enzo Decaro, with musical direction and arrangements by Cinzia Gangarella, as well as in the accompanying theatrical-musical performance[44].
From 2012 to 2013, he was a member of Epifani’s Barbers, an ethnic music ensemble led by Apulian mandolinist Mimmo Epifani, featuring Giuseppe Grassi on mandola; Giandomenico Caramia on accordion and percussion; Sandro Paradisi on accordion and keyboards; and Cosimo Leone on drums.
In 2013, he participated in the theatrical-musical performance Racconti Ritrovati, by Lisa Ferlazzo Natoli, held as part of the Jazz Festival in Roccella Ionica (RC)[45].
Since 2018, he has been part of the Sephardic Beat project[46] with Gabriele Coen on soprano sax and tenor sax, and clarinet; Alessandro Gwis on piano; Mario Rivera on bass; Ziad Trabelsi on oud and vocals; and Arnaldo Vacca on percussion. The group presents a repertoire where Sephardic music meets jazz. "Sefarad is the name Jews used for Spain, and this is where the group’s journey begins. The most distinctive characteristics of Sephardic music stem from its Spanish, medieval, and Renaissance origins. Its melodic structure contains archaic elements, preserving cadences and forms used in the music of the minstrels of the Christian West, as well as similarities to the contemporary *Cantigas de Santa Maria* collected by the Spanish monarch Alfonso the Wise. Furthermore, Sephardic music incorporates some of the most important performance practices characteristic of Islamic musical systems: scales, ornaments, microintervals, guided improvisations, and interpretive style; one need only consider the similarities with the Arab-Andalusian tradition." In 2023, the quintet recorded the self-titled CD with the Parco della Musica Records label and presented its own interpretation of Sephardic music in concert.
Since 2020, he has been part of the 7 Luas Med Orkestra[47], as part of the 7 Sois 7 Luas Festival. The group includes Custodio Castelo (Portugal), musical director, Portuguese guitar; Alidé Sans (Catalonia), vocals, guitar; Bernard Joron (Réunion), vocals, guitar, trumpet; Moises Ramos (Cape Verde), keyboards; and Tiago Manuel Suarez (Portugal), percussion and drums. The repertoire, developed during an artist-in-residence program in Ponte de Sor, Portugal, during the last week of August 2020, includes pieces from all six musicians’ countries of origin, plus two original compositions by Custódio Castelo. Following their debut with two concerts in Pombal (Portugal) and Pontedera in early September, additional concerts are planned for 2021 as part of the 7 Sois 7 Luas Festival network.

In 2007, he was invited to accompany Giorgio Albertazzi in his highly personal reinterpretation of Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy, *Dante legge Albertazzi*, staged at the Teatro Argentina in Rome. Many of the themes from these soundtracks were released in 2007 on the CD O.S.T. (Helikonia).
As for film and television, his experience as a composer and producer began (as noted earlier) with Agricantus, with whom Rivera contributed to the soundtracks for Hamam – The Turkish Bath by Ferzan Özpetek, composed by Pivio and Aldo De Scalzi in 1997, Placido Rizzotto by Pasquale Scimeca in 2000 and Felicia Impastato by Gianfranco Albano in 2016
Mario Rivera also collaborated with Gabriele Coen to compose the original scores for the films Notturno Bus by Davide Marengo (2007), Clash of Civilizations Over an Elevator in Piazza Vittorio by Isotta Toso (2010), Matrimoni e altri disastri by Nina Di Majo—the tracks Chasene Tants and Blue Star (2010), Vanni Gandolfo’s "L’arma più forte" (2016) and "Tornare" by Cristina Comencini (2020), as well as the score for the short film *Mare Nostro* by Andrea d’Asaro starring Marcello Mazzarella, which won Best Fiction Film at the 2009 VFR in the “Periferie Italiane” section[57], winner of the 2009 Siena Festival and the 2009 IMAIE Award[58]
He produced, composed, and arranged the music for the film "Balòn" by Pasquale Scimeca (2017), presented that same year at the Turin Film Festival[59], and for the short film "L’ombra delle muciare" by Marcello Mazzarella (2018), winner of the Grifo d’oro for Best Short Film at the 2018 Perugia Love Film Festival[60].
