Acqua Fragile

Acqua Fragile is an Italian progressive rock band that first made waves in the 1970s with their lush harmonies and English-language lyrics—a bold choice in Italy’s predominantly Italian-singing rock scene. Inspired by British prog acts like Genesis and Gentle Giant, their 1973 self-titled debut and 1974’s *Mass-Media Stars* blended intricate instrumentation with poetic storytelling. After disbanding, they unexpectedly reunited decades later, reigniting their sound with 2017’s *A New Chant* and 2020’s *Moving Fragiles*, proving their knack for melodic prog remains intact. Known for crisp vocal arrangements and dynamic shifts, they’ve carved a quirky niche in the genre, balancing nostalgia and fresh energy in their recent work.
