Plurima Mundi is a musical sextet: the leader is Massimiliano Monopoli(violinist), Grazia Maremonti(voice), Massimo Bozza(bass), Vincenzo Zecca(guitar), Pierfrancesco Caramia(drums), and Francesco Pagliarulo(piano). Listening to their music you will find bits of swing, classical, jazz-fusion, blues, and ethno-funk coming together as progressive rock. Vitality and energy are main ingredients of their creations, offering "a new renaissance, a search for new musical horizons which embrace technology."

I got in touch with Massimiliano for a short interview.
