Mala Hierba

Our music is rumored to offer trips from the banks of Naviglio to those of Rio de la Plata with stops in french brothels, turkish baths, cuban caves and smoky jazz clubs in New York…but geography aside, Mala Hierba is a project that tries to embrace the concept of music as movement, migration, encounter.
Creating and growing this musical “bad weed” was a life-changing experience for me…I learnt so much about writing and playing, about music and musicianship. I began to convince myself that the history of music has more to teach about human civilization than the history of wars or conquests.
