Negramaro is an Italian rock band formed in 1999 and successful since 2005. Their name stems from Negroamaro, a wine produced in their native region, Salento.

After years spent in the Italian alternative market, they became famous in 2007 thanks to the Festivalbar.


In the beginning, helped by live performances, they gained good critics, until they met the producer Caterina Caselli which helped them record music.

In 2001 they won the Tim Tour and ended as finalists at the MTV Brand New Talent.

Their first album, "Negramaro", was released in 2003. The sound of the album was very alternative for the Italian public, so it didn't have any kind of success. Two singles were released: the minor hits "Mono" and "Solo".
