Alias (Crossover)

    Alias is a project that took shape in Naples in 2019 when some
talented musicians, with previous experiences in bands such as
Orchestra Multietnica Mediterranea and Napoli Centrale, teamed up to
experiment an original kind of progressive ethno-rock blending
different styles ranging from classical music and folk to jazz and
classic rock. In 2020 the band self-released an interesting debut
album entitled The Second Sun with a line up
featuring Romilda Bocchetti (vocals, piano, keyboards, darbuka),
Giovanni Guarrera (classical guitar, backing vocals), Ezio Felaco
(bass) and Fredy Malfi (drums) plus the guest Max Fuschetto (oboe) on
one track. Although among their sources of inspiration they mention
King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Tangerine Dream
or Terry Riley in my opinion these names could be misleading since
the folk-jazz vein tends to prevail.
