Rumatera: 'We're keeping the culture alive'

The Arts Hour

Available for over a year

Italian punk rock band Rumatera have had international success with their music but have so far resisted any temptation to sing in more widely-spoken English. In a Facebook Live, before The Arts Hour on Tour programme in Venice, singer/bassist Giorgio Gozzo told Nikki Bedi why it was important to the band to continue singing in their native Venetian.
