IL MURO DEL CANTO's tour starts on 1 July from Rome to present their new album 'MAESTRALE', just released by Fiori Rari/distr. Believe. Four years after 'L'amore mio non more', which established Il Muro del Canto as a cult band in the national independent music scene, the group is back with their fifth studio album. Accompanying the release is a lengthy presentation tour, which, in addition to headlining concerts, will see Il Muro del Canto engaged in a series of openings with Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals: a comeback for the band, which had already had the opportunity to share the stage with the American songwriter and guitarist in previous years. Also announced are the indoor dates scheduled for October in Turin and Milan (pre-sales available from today on Ticketone and Ticketmaster), the very first dates of the autumn tour. Il Muro del Canto is finally ready for a return to the live dimension, which over the years with over 400 concerts has brought them to perform all over the peninsula, constantly expanding the large audience that follows the band's performances. 'MISTRAL' - THE DISC Eleven tracks, anticipated in recent months by the singles "Controvento" and "Cometa", followed by the third extract "La Luce della Luna", in which Il Muro del Canto continues its stylistic and communicative evolution while maintaining its distinctive traits. It introduces, more than in the past, elements of renewal in both language and musical approach. The strength of the Roman dialect, also present in many tracks of this fifth chapter, sometimes gives way to Italian. 'Maestrale' is an album marked by change, from the new Fiori Rari label that will support the band in this adventure, to the successful grafting of guitarist Franco Pietropaoli, who also took care of the album's studio production. Artistically, too, the band presents several innovations: for the first time, Alessandro Pieravanti, usually on vocals and drums, offers two sung tracks, and, as if in a game of role swapping, Daniele Coccia Paifelman recites the introduction. Alessandro Marinelli, whom we are used to seeing on accordion, often sits on keyboards in 'Maestrale'. The songs were composed, arranged and played in the open country, between 2020 and 2022: this choice greatly influenced the form and content of the new material on offer. 'Mistral' is steeped in air, fire, water and earth. Man and his freedom are the fulcrum around which the images and characters of the twelve proposed stories revolve. The relationship of the human being with life and nature thus becomes a red thread that binds the songs of 'Maestrale'. The title itself emphasises how it is a record driven by a wind, which brings good weather and which etymologically is thought to be taken from the appellation given to the city pointed by the wind rose to the North West: Roma Magister Mundi. Il Muro del Canto are Daniele Coccia Paifelman (vocals), Alessandro Pieravanti (vocals and drums), Eric Caldironi (acoustic guitar), Ludovico Lamarra (electric bass), Franco Pietropaoli (electric guitar) and Alessandro Marinelli (accordion).
