Miguel Angel Acosta is an important musician in the tradition of South American Folk Music. In Italy for many years, his trademarks are a "fully immersion" in the tradition oh his native continent as well as composing new music that's fresh and at the same time, directly linked to the past. Umami are really Europe's Inti Illimani. Lautaro Acosta, Miguel's son and actual "arti & mestieri's" violinist is a close collaborator of Acosta and Umami.
