The rhythms and sounds from every latitude of the world find a home in Rome reborn in an original sonic magma encapsulating the sensuality of funk, the exoticism of Middle Eastern sounds, the timbral blends of South America, the roughness of rock, and the immediacy of pop.

Following a prestigious stage debut at this year’s Italian Festival di Sanremo, and after releasing the first singles Ama La Tierra and Safi Safi, the debut album Magma, of the BabelNova Orchestra is out. The album is produced by Pino Pecorelli and co-produced by Emanuele Bultrini and Duilio Galioto for Maladisco and Ipe Ipe.

A new ensemble (composed of former musicians from the historical “Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio”), 12 musicians from all over the world, the BabelNova Orchestra is a witness and heir to one of the most fascinating and pioneering world music stories in Italy from the last 20 years. Today it is creating a new era. The musicians who arrived in Italy more than 20 years ago are now fully integrated into the Italian cultural fabric, reinterpreting and reimagining this diverse cultural magma where music has changed, but more importantly, the relationship between the sounds of their countries of origin and the current Italian scene has evolved. Additionally, with the inclusion of some younger, second-generation musicians, the musical expression has been renewed with new influences.
