BUSHI - The Flawless Avenger
Bushi is the brainchild of Alessandro Vagnoni (drummer for Bologna Violenta, Ronin and
multi-instrumentalist for his onemanband project Drovag), here as guitarist and
composer/arranger/lyricist of all the songs. The debut album (self-titled) has been released
in September 2017 via Dischi Bervisti, an independent label run by Nicola Manzan
(Bologna Violenta, Ronin).
Born as a trio, Bushi is now a quartet with the sax player Sergio Pomante (ex-Ulan Bator,
String Theory) joining Davide Scode (bass) and Fabrizio Baioni (drums).

The iconic and lyrical imagery of BUSHI is inspired by the Samurai epic, characterized by
the contradiction between pride and disgrace, refinement and cruelty, prestige and
decadence. The texts are short poems (haiku, a typical meter of Japanese poetry), each
inspired by the precepts of the military and philosophical schools of these noble warriors.
In this record all the haikus were made starting from the events or precepts contained in
the Hagakure book (the title of each track contains the reference to the chapter and
paragraph).
