MELGA live

The show by Melga is intense, refined, and emotional.

The musical suggestions of the live performance "Figli" are dynamic, with aspects of sound introspection characterized by the piano, alternating with emphasis and power typical of the refrains. Melga is an experience that always leaves a mark, a real sonic impact, simply played with soul and heart.
