Negramaro is an Italian rock band from Salento, fronted by Giuliano Sangiorgi. Formed in 1999, they moved from raw early releases to mainstream success with albums such as Mentre tutto scorre, known for blending Italian songwriting with alternative and pop-rock influences.

Named after a Salento grape variety; frontman Giuliano Sangiorgi is principal songwriter and vocalist. Worked with producers Corrado Rustici and Caterina Caselli (mentioned in reviews). Breakthrough and widespread recognition came with the 2005 album 'Mentre tutto scorre'. Collaborations mentioned in reviews include Jovanotti and Elisa. 'La finestra' sessions included recording in Los Angeles (mentioned in reviews).

DeBaser reviews show a mixed reception: early raw releases and the 2005 breakthrough received praise, while later records drew criticism for polished, over-arranged production. Live shows and ballads (and the singer Giuliano Sangiorgi's voice) are recurring focal points. Covers such as "Meraviglioso" polarised critics.

 The tone of their piece is dictated by Sangiorgi's vocality, the band's accompaniment always slavishly follows the leader, confined in that direction, without a spark, an idea that gives meaning, a turn, a key reading.

 Negramaro is not only the name of a grape variety from Salento with a bittersweet taste, but also the name of one of the most interesting bands on the Italian music scene.
