Because there is a place and a time you belong to.

MOAI is a seven-piece indie folk band formed in 2018, an ambitious project conceived by Valentina Comelli and Matteo Mantovani.
​
Their original songs find their roots in the folk American songwriting tradition, independently explored to find the most intense and genuine sound. The result is a marriage of music that combines a modern language with free creativity, giving space to explosive roots-rock, acoustic ballads with an Irish flavor and moments of pure musical improvisation.
​
On Jan 30, 2020 MOAI released their first single "September" (official video on youtube).
​
The band is semi-finalist at International Songwriting Competition with "My darling child" (unpublished and folk / singer-songwriters category).
​
On May 22, 2020 the band released their debut album "MOAI", recorded at BLUEFEMME STEREOREC in August, 2019.
​
Moai's live concert is a an exchange with the audience: a journey of music, words and short stories in an intimate and energetic atmosphere.
