The Calimani were born at the end of 2016 from the Tuscan duo of friends Mattia Tartaglia and Francesco Checcacci, becoming a quartet with the entry of Niccolò Mutarelli on guitar and Elia Taverni on bass.
At the same time the writing of the songs that will compose their first album, Calimani Fantastici and Dove Trovarli, begins. The album features representative guests for the two distinctive genres of the band: the urban-pop EGO (Woodworm Label) and the historical folk music of Silvio Trotta and Alessandro Bruni (Musicanti del Piccolo Borgo). Personality and irony are the Calimani’s artistic signature.
Line-up:
Mattia Tartaglia – ukulele and voice; Francesco Checcacci – drums, percussion and voice; Niccolò Mutarelli – guitar; Elia Taverni – bass.
