Folkabbestia is an eclectic and dynamic Italian musical group known for blending elements of folk, rock, and world music to create a unique and vibrant sound. Emerging in the late 1990s, the band's lineup has evolved over the years, but their commitment to lively performances and a fusion of genres has remained constant. With a name that playfully combines "folk" with "abbestia," which loosely translates to "beastly" or "wild," the band encapsulates the energetic and untamed spirit of their music.

Their discography is a testament to their story-telling prowess, often weaving tales that explore themes of travel, joy, and the quest for happiness. Recent releases like "Il Fricchettone 2.0" and "Giramondi" showcase their ability to reinvent themselves while staying true to their bohemian roots. Songs like "La baraonda" and "Il segreto della felicità" are reflective of their gift for creating catchy, thought-provoking tunes that resonate with a broad audience. Live tracks such as "Perche (Live)" capture the infectious energy of their concerts, inviting listeners to partake in the Folkabbestia experience. By offering a philosophical take on life with pieces like "Breve saggio filosofico sul senso della vita," they further establish themselves not just as entertainers, but as modern-day bards of the Italian music scene.
