Maybe6ix
In 2006 Fausto Caravati and Alessandro Cadario, two musicians entirely devoted to choral and vocal a cappella music, createt Maybe6, around a shared need to do something in the field of pop-cappella and a few occasional beers...They were soon joined by 4 of the most eclectic voices in the Italian a cappella world: TOny Guerrieri, Lca Giugno, Tommaso Ferrandina and Krishna Nagaraja.
Since the very beginning Maybe6ix has been working to spread Italian pop music through original arrangements employting voice as the only "instrument".
Its trademark are dazzling contrapunctal settings which make every song a "madrigal", stressing the power of the meaning and the sound of the words without losing the energy of a vocal bass line and a vocal percussion: this results in an experimental style in which a 5 part fugue can be found in the middle of a "rock song...!"
Maybe6ix wants to bring the classical and pop world closer in order to make a cappella music nearer to every kind of audience, including young people who listen to pop music everyday and therefore know the material very well: hence the school projects consisting in workshops, lessons and concerts all in one.

This is the debut album of all male Contemporary a cappella Italian sextet Maybe6ix. Brought together in 2006 by a cappella devotees Fausto Caravati and Alessandro Cadario, Maybe6ix became kind of a supergroup with the addition of Luca Giugno, Tony Guerrieri, Tommaso Ferrandina and Krishna Nagaraga. The avowed purpose of the group was (and continues to be) to advance Italian pop music through creative new arrangements, using the voice as the only instrument. The group wants to bring classical and pop closer together and to bring a cappella music to every musical genre. They have an experimental sound that throws faux horns, 5-part fugues and other seemingly incongruous settings into their lovely, surprising compositions. All 9 songs are in Italian, some particularly fine ones are "Infinito," "lo per lei," "Ogni mio istante," "Oceano," "La terra dei Cachi" and "Baila." Maybe6ix has a sweet, unexpected sound that brings together a smorgasbord of musical styles in the same song, in a playful, spirited way that recalls Queen on "Bohemian Rhapsody" and '08 Harmony Sweeps Champs Vocaldente. Fun, eclectic a cappella stuff from Italy!
