The roots of front man Mickael lay in the sunny and beautiful country of Italy. That’s why most of the lyrics are sung in Italian. The other band members from Bosnia, Serbia and The Netherlands complete the band’s international personality. Mala Vita also sings in Spanish, English, Bosnian and French. Or call it ‘Itañol’, ‘Franglais’ or ‘Bosniano’, because the idiom of the Malavitosi is just as infinite as their music.
The strong Balkan sounds are no coincidence. Accordionplayer Emil and drummer Garo are both from the torn country of Bosnia. So they know how to unite Europe’s far east and west. The band’s songs are full of themes like pain, love and betrayal. But don’t expect to be having a melancholic night with Mala Vita, because they will bring you a show of danceable polkapunk, crushing ska and pounding reggae.
In the spring of 2007 the band releases their first studio album, Disorganizzata. For this album they worked closely together with producer Gambeat from the world famous band Radio Bemba Sound System. Disorganizzata has been partially recorded in The Netherlands and Barcelona and mixed in Barcelona, the centre of the vivid mestizo-scene. Front man Mickael: “Gambeat didn’t just produce the album but also participated in the writing process. He really did everything to get the best out of us. Mark my words: 2007 will be the year of Mala Vita!”
The band developed itself in an incredible speed since it’s start in 2001. They have played on uncountable stages of venues and festivals throughout Europe. The highlights: two times Lowlands, Noorderslag, Polé Polé at the Gentse Feesten, The International Film Festival in Zagreb and the recording of their live album Mani Fiesta in Het Paard van Troje in The Hague. In 2005 the band won a prestigious Essent Award.
The sound of Mala Vita is difficult to describe, and that’s exactly the power of this promising, global, musical sensation
