Francesco Cusa (alias Frank U.S.A.), drummer and composer, was born in Catania in 1966. He has played alongside some of Europe’s greatest jazz and avant garde musicians. His music encompasses radical improvisations, the most heterodox pop, even ballads. His solo albums include Skrunch (Improvvisatore Involontario, 2005). Heplays with a number of groups that work together on specific projects, such as Switters, (Cusa, saxophonist Gianni Gebbia and bassist/vocalist Vicenzo Vasi). Switters has collaborated with Wu Ming 1, adding sound to fragments of the “soloist narrative object” New Thing (Einaudi, 2004). [pull up and indent]Dazzled by an oral summary of the plot in Manituana, and later struck by its resemblance to films like The Searchers and Soldier Blue, Cusa has recorded and given us these three themes, which form a mini-suite, Manituana Drums.
