In the City / Jam

Founded by three friends in Palermo, Sicily in 2001 by musicians active in the fertile underground music scene of the city, Smuggler Brothers aim to experiment with new artistic directions, combining a diverse set of influences ranging from Italian soundtrack and Library music from the 60s and 70s to African American music, with groove as the core essence of the band. From the initial nucleus, the band soon evolved into an 8-piece combo. Following an exciting period spent rehearsing and honing their sound, Smuggler Brothers started an intense live activity, gaining the enthusiastic support of the local scene. In 2015 the band felt it was time to record their music- 'Self-Titled,' their debut album was recorded at Zeit Studio in Palermo. Shortly after the release, the band suffered a period of instability. But this release sees the band coming back to life and entering a new phase- with a renewed structure and a clear plan, the group presents new music for one tasty return!
