ALMA Acoustic is an independent Italian-language pop band based
in Ticino, Switzerland, formed in 2021.
Winners of the Best Original Song Award at the TicinoBands Live
Contest 2025, ALMA writes pop songs in Italian with an ironic,
socially-aware lens, drawing from the tradition of Italian
cantautorato — the songwriter-driven pop that has shaped Italian
music from De André to Brunori Sas.
The band released their debut album TUTTI UMANI TUTTI UGUALI in
2024, followed by the singles Parlami d'amore (2025), Vita (2026)
and Il Fiume dell'Oblio (2026), all anticipating their second
album, due summer 2026.
Reviewed by Rockit and featured on RSI Rete Tre, Rete Uno and
Radio Swiss Pop, ALMA Acoustic has performed at venues including
the Hard Rock Cafe Milano and Rotonda by La Mobiliare in Locarno.
The project stands for Italian-language pop as a living,
necessary cultural form — a deliberate choice in a regional
scene often dominated by English-language and cover music.
Maurizio Podda — vocals, acoustic guitar, piano
Orio Oliveri — electric and acoustic guitar, backing vocals
Pietro Pavanelli — acoustic guitar
Christopher Cornacchini — bass, double bass
