Mercanti di Liquore is an Italian band with a flair for blending folk music with rock influences, creating a sound that's distinctly their own yet evocative of traditional music heritage. Hailing from Lombardy, a region in Northern Italy, the band has been active since the late 1990s, knitting together narratives of everyday life, social commentary, and humor into their lyrical storytelling.

Their works such as "Lombardia" and "Musica dei poveri" showcase their rootedness in the local culture and their ability to turn the ordinary into profound auditory experiences. Songs like "Mai paura" and their rendition of the folk classic "Geordie" exhibit a seamless flow between the modern and the classic. The poignant "Che cosa te ne fai di un titolo" and the skeptically-toned "Non siamo mai stati sulla luna" illustrate their diverse thematic interests, which range from personal introspection to addressing conspiracy theories. The live album "Live in Dada" captures the energetic and engaging nature of their performances, drawing their audience into a convivial atmosphere filled with the spirit of Italian folk-rock. Through their robust discography, Mercanti di Liquore maintains a loyal following in Italy and continues to contribute significant chapters to the Italian music scene.
