Gruppo Agrakas is a Sicilian folk group from Agrigento, Sicily. Agrakas was the original name of the wonderful city whose valley of the temples has the best preserved Greek temples in all of Magna Grecia. The name was then changed to Girgenti but the Duce renamed it Agrigento tp give it a Greek sounding Italian name. Enough trivia. This group is absolutely superb and they were performing at an Arba Sicula event at St, John's University in Queens, NYC. Arba Sicula is an organization whose aim is to foster Sicilian culture and it's language. More information can be found on the link in the blog.
