Coming from the ashes of Festa Mobile this band from Bari (where their name comes from) and based in Rome chose a very different musical style, concentrating on an instrumental jazz-rock that was very popular in Italy during the mid/late 70's.

Both their albums, released by EMI in 1976 and 1978, show strong influences by the likes of Weather Report or Mahavishnu Orchestra, mixed with a mediterranean feel that's more evident in Trusciant.

After the second album the group disbanded, and reformed for a short while as a trio in 1983-84 with a disco-inclined self produced single. Brothers Boccuzzi have not left the music, still playing as sessionmen.
