Biography
Mr. Mauro Pinzone has been writing original songs and performing for twenty years now, first as a solo guitarist and then as leader of a ten years lasting band, the “Penzieri Compressiâ€, a group playing Italian rock fusion style, performing gigs in Italy. In spring 2008 he meets Mr. Ben Amouda from Tunis (percussions teacher) and Miss F.Rubino (a prog-jazz influenced fretless bass player): they start playing together.
In summer 2008 two musicians join in: Mr. Amelotti (woodwind instruments academic) and red haired Miss Annie “La Rouge†folk influenced Dobro guitarist and backsinger. A new band is born, named Afka’r (arab word meaning “Thoughtsâ€). Together they produce an updated cross Mediterranean sound as backdrop to the Pinzone’s original songs and Italian lyrics.
