Turista Per Sempre are a trio made up of multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and producer Matteo Capreoli; drummer and vocalist Benny Glass & his bass playing and culinary genius of a brother, Joscha. All three are based in Berlin, Germany. The three met in Porto Selvaggio in Southern Italy - one of the country’s most stunning natural reserves and one of its best kept secrets. They began their project with complete openness and a sense of commensurateness that only comes with long standing, honest relationships. The basis of the project being their friendship and all that it entailed, from cooking to humour and not only their love of music. They simply played together and let things flow naturally. It was the first time in many years that they had all been in one room playing music, and the result was the Amore Fantastique EP with all songs based on a single take without a click track. The name Turista Per Sempre comes from the words of a neighbour when the three were recording in Porto Selvaggio. It relates to the feeling that they were “always a tourist” in that special place, and that’s a feeling that Matteo in particular can relate to - never feeling quite Italian, or quite German enough. The name was cemented when they went into the city and bought some scratch cards that bore the same moniker. It was meant to be!
