Amigdala began life in Naples in 2008 as a “laboratory of instrumental music” with the aim to blend jazz with progressive rock and avant-garde. In 2012 the band released a début album on the independent label Suoni del Sud, “Opere Omus”, with a line up featuring Marco Gesualdi (guitars), Vittorio Nicoletti Altimari (bass), Carmine Brachi (drums), Luca Toller (piano, synthesizers) and Francesco Gallo (sax, flute). During the recording sessions they were helped by many guests (among others Lino Vairetti from Osanna) who contributed to enrich the sound with good results. Amigdala's sources of inspiration range from The Beatles to Frank Zappa and Weather Report, from Osanna and Napoli Centrale to Area but they managed to add to their music a touch of originality.
