Matteo paggi
and the Giraffes
The Giraffe, in the world of symbolism, symbolises 'foresight'. Having his head away from his heart, he is able to make decisions with detachment and coldness.
In the music of Matteo Paggi and the Giraffes, the mind is free to fly, to express itself with all the airiness that shapes it; but at the same time, the fire of passion burns in the chest and finds no obstacle close by, it burns unceasingly.
The music of the band manages to bind rationality and passion, creating original music that draws influences from metal, rock and melodic music, all set against a jazz backdrop.
Their first album "GIRAFFE" will be released on 2025 with the Jam/Unjam Records (branch of Universal).
The videos you are watching has been recorded during the tour of presentation of this album in Italy, as guests in the Astronave Studio Recording's YouTube series 'Diario di Bordo'.
