With colorful shirts and great enthusiasm, the small orchestra knows how to captivate the audience in no time at all. When Malikì takes to the stage with frontwoman Chiara Raimondi, it is not least her Italian temperament that guarantees an energetic live show. Founded in 2023, the band has already toured throughout Europe, with festival highlights including the Rudolstadt Festival (Germany's largest festival for global music) and Tallinn Music Week (one of the most important festivals for modern music in Europe) in addition to appearances in Germany, Italy, Estonia, Slovenia, Switzerland and Austria.
In spring 2025, the debut album “prima di tornare a casa” was released, available via the contact form or on all common streaming platforms. The cosmopolitan music flows borderlessly in a mixture of Afro & Latin rhythms, Balkan beats & gypsy jazz. This extraordinary combination forms the framework for their biggest message: “We believe in diversity, we celebrate it through authenticity.” That characterizes the eight-piece band both musically as well as in the line-up as they take the audience on a musical journey through different countries and cultures. The songs, sung in Italian, Spanish, English and Greek, sometimes powerful and sometimes mellow, invite you to dance as well as to dream. There is something for everyone - guaranteed!
