Everything started in Rome, by the end of 2000. It was a truly intense (and still growing!) passion for music from the Balkans and Klezmer tradition that brought us together.
We enthusiastically put all our previous experiences in the cauldron: what came out was a mix of traditional folk, jazz, free, ska, progressive rock, classical, brass band and so on. And off we went, playing on the road in the center of Rome, on buses, boats, trains, tramways (Sometimes also in pubs, clubs & theatre stages, doing weddings as well!). Busking at Festivals like Pennabilli in 2002. Traveling up to Turin and other places around Italy... follow us!
