Malatja is an Italian band from Angri (province of Salerno) led by Professor Sessa, known for performing punk-rock and related styles using the Neapolitan dialect.

Origin: Angri, province of Salerno (mentioned in reviews). Lead figure: Professor Sessa (mentioned in reviews). Noted for using Neapolitan dialect in punk-rock and for covering James Senese's "Vecchie, mugliere, muorte e criature" on the album 48 (as stated in reviews).

Two DeBaser reviews (2005, 2008) present Malatja as an Italian band from Angri/Salerno mixing punk-rock with Neapolitan dialect. 48 is praised for power and melodic strength; Caparott is viewed as engaging live but sterile on record. Lyrics and regional voice are repeatedly highlighted as a major merit.

For:Listeners of Italian punk/alternative and fans of music sung in Neapolitan dialect.

 Because Malatja have the merit of having reinvented punk-rock in Italy, introducing a language, a way of speaking, a Neapolitan way of being that, at first, no artist of this genre had done.

 ...the obscene accent of our dialect and the noxious fumes of the Sarno river were more rock than Dave Navarro’s lacquered nails...
