MAKRìA

MAKRÍA (from the Greek word μακριά meaning “far away”) is an itinerary in music, which blooms and travels the Mediterranean basin, a place of life, passages and encounters, until it reaches the immense lands of Northern Europe, where silences keep enriching this fertile journey. Each original composition represents a stage of this musical Odyssey of which Ithaca is unknown. Marco Vecchio, Makrìa’s founder, meets his three traveling companions thus giving birth to the project. This work is imbued with multiple sounds from different cultures, held together by Afro-American jazz, the key glue, and thus creates a colorful, nuanced language, a set of emotions which try to touch the souls of the world.

The Makrìa group is composed by:
Marco Vecchio → Sax, Ciaramella, Chalumeau, Flutes and composition
Federico Rubin → Piano and keyboards
Daniele Marrone → Bass guitar
Gianfilippo Invincibile → Drums
