The Profile

Negramaro are an Italian band from Salento (Apulia), active since 1999, led by singer and songwriter Giuliano Sangiorgi.

Publicly known as an Italian pop-rock band formed in 1999 in Copertino (province of Lecce, Apulia). The name refers to the Negroamaro grape/wine from Salento. Frontman Giuliano Sangiorgi is widely credited as the band’s main vocalist and songwriter.

Across 18 DeBaser reviews, Negramaro come off as a Salento-born pop-rock band that split listeners: heartfelt ballads and big choruses for some, over-arranged mainstream pop for others. “Mentre tutto scorre” is often treated as a key peak/turning point, while “La finestra” divides reviewers over repetition and heavy production. The band’s frontman Giuliano Sangiorgi is repeatedly singled out: admired for intensity and technique, criticized for shrill highs/falsetto and melodrama. Covers like “Meraviglioso” trigger especially harsh reactions in at least one review, while live releases are described as a rockier alternative to radio singles.

Notable Quotes

❝ Negramaro are the best among the new Italian pop rock bands.
❝ Passed with reservation, they are smart but don't apply themselves; they should return next time without copying from last year's themes.
❝ San Siro, 2018. It was one of the most embarrassing concerts I have ever seen, the one by Negramaro.
❝ I do not doubt that for those who appreciate the genre it may assume the connotations of excellent work, but for my ears, it is by far the worst CD within the walls of my home.
❝ This latest (for now) effort by Negramaro is a steaming pile of feelings.
