Independent musician Paul Grosso creates a tropical anthem to preserve “Culture,” and his music video says it all. In effect, watching stunning shots of Greece’s Peloponnese region is a visual delight that accompanies a powerful message.
Residing in Chicago, the American artist traveled to the ancient Greek village where his grandmother was born to film the entire clip. Actually, this location also serves as a healing retreat, from which he’s fostering a spiritual awakening open to the public via his Musical Mindset project.

On the other hand, such a beautiful and calming place is a dream destination for inner transformation.
Musically speaking, “Culture” is inspired by Shamanic rhythms with a modern twist. As a result, it will have you stretching your arms to the sky thanks to the amalgam of Pop, electronic melodies, clever rhymes, and even tribal instrumentation.
Especially, he adds a rich sonic texture to the whole composition. This is due to the sounds made by the darbuka drum, the didgeridoo, and the ritualistic native flute, becoming hybrid expressions of World music.
In pursuit of saving traditions and customs, the passionate lyrics yearn for the past and highlight its essence. Moreover, there’s an important necessity to turn this song into an ode to one’s ancestors.
Overall, “Culture” is a valid critique of today’s ideas and practices related to mainstream consumers. At the same time, it’s a call for exploring the history that builds identity and meaningful experiences.
