ZUMPA Join Zumpa as they celebrate Festa Della Republica (2 June). They will re-launch their first ever album - Sette Belli. It is a collection of seven beautiful classic and original tracks to evoke that Italian Mediterrenean feeling. Zumpa will transport you to forgotten Italian fishing villages, moonlit olive groves and a hard life under a hot sun where peasants play music to celebrate life with a fierce sense of humour. They provide the sounds and energy of folk, gypsy and Italian world music woven together to provide a truly spaghetti and meatballs experience.
