Almoraima is a multi-ethnic group based in Salento, which presents an original sound inspired by Gypsy musical tradition and, in particular, by the musical connections developed by them on the various sides of the Mediterranean: Southern Italy, Southern Spain, Balcans, Maghreb and Mashrek. It is no coincidence then that the group takes its name from that strip of the Andalusian land between Jerez de la Fronteira, Cordoba and Sevilla, an asylum for refugees Sindi from Rajasthan, North African Moors, Jews, and Spanish coming back from journeys to the Americas, from where they imported innovative rhythms and sounds. The group revolves around the figure of guitarist Massi Almoraima, composer of the music and texts. Talented Vocalist Rachel Andrioli is the latest addition to the group. The formation is completed by ethnic percussionist Roberto Chiga, classical cellist Frederick Musarò, jazz bassist Marco Bardoscia and accordionist Rocco Nigro.
