BABA YOGA

Baba Yoga biography
BABA YOGA is an Eclectic Prog band from Rome, Italy founded in 2003 by Gianfranco Salvatore and Danilo Cherni. The duo had worked together in another band called NOTTE DELLA TARANTA which was conceived and directed by SALVATORE and CHERNI was the keyboardist. The duo was approached by director Daniele LUCHETTI to make a soundtrack of sorts with music inspired by civilizations of the sea, ethnic traditions, and the sun, along with musical references to Far Eastern countries. The three then worked together in the studio to create the unique sound of BABA YOGA.

The band has since released other albums through the years, each one with distinct personalities and styles, and with rotating line-ups as needed for each project. Some of these were soundtracks, and some were stand alone albums, usually based on concepts. The one goal that the duo tries to achieve on each project is to meld traditional ethnic influences and electronic formats. This is applied to different sub-genres ranging from traditional folk to avant-garde, usually originating from live shows.

The band is influenced by a wide array of styles and not necessarily as much by individual bands. If you love your music with a lot of variety, avant-garde and ethnic influences such as SECRET CHIEFS 3, Mike PATTON, PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI, and such should enjoy the quirkiness and unique sounds of this band.
