ALZAMANTES | Hard Folk band

THE SHOW

Traditional sounds from Italy and across Europe, reimagined with a unique, unmistakable rock sound.

The band's distinctive, powerful sound brings new life to a folk repertoire ranging from the pizzica of southern Italy to Irish jigs.

Traditional folk meets hard rock in bold arrangements, blending musical cultures with an explosive dose of energy.

The band explores balfolk dances from the southern Mediterranean to northern Europe, through fresh interpretations of traditional tunes and original compositions.

Hard folk that takes you on a journey and gets you dancing and sweating!
