ALFAMUSIC - Label & Publishing

The awareness of "independent label" took shape between 2000 and 2001 by Alessandro Guardia and Fabrizio Salvatore giving a defined identity to an already productive and expanding reality.



The strong correlation between production choices and the cultural and social aspects, the pleasure of producing high quality music and the innate passion of "recording the sound", has determined a keen guideline towards world/ethnic and jazz productions. Great interest is dedicated to those pop, rock, new age and classic projects that contain originality and a high artistic level.



At the roots of our activities there's a fundamental aim: the reassertion of the cultural values of all identities in our country.

These values are often reduced by ideological false references of the modern society and merely too far from our Mediterranean roots.

The natural boosts of our productive activities are the respect of proper language, proper music, proper origins and its deep values.

This is what we like most and that drives us towards an Ethnic Italian music because it is traditional pop music and not folk. We think it is a spontaneous music, which is often young and innovative.



We also believe that the same consideration must be given to our jazz productions. This exciting musical genre, although usually identified with its afro-American origins, it has positively developed also in Italy becoming popular at international level thanks to the activity and to the talent of a lot of artists (... and of the producers who have trust them).



The meeting between American, European and African cultures has been and continue to be very important. The result of this interesting process is the creation of an Italian jazz which is now known abroad and it's where our young label would like to undertake... relying on the distributors and media cooperation, and with the help of the best Italian jazz players.
