We are five musicians from Italian Switzerland and we write in Italian by choice, in a scene that mostly speaks English. Our original songs, between acoustic guitars and a folk soul, look at everyday life with irony and an undercurrent of melancholy. We are not interested in raising our voice: we want those who listen to pause for a moment, catch their breath and return to valuing the things and people that usually go unnoticed. Since 2021 we have been playing them live across Ticino and Lombardy, 30-35 shows a year.
