ITA / alternative rock / Piuma Dischi

Itami is the fourth album by Cara Calma, preceded by the singles Fare Schifo, Brescia Inferno, Male Cane, and the most recent one — released on March 14 — Anime e Ket4mina. The title comes from the Japanese word that embodies the concept of physical, emotional, and psychological pain.

The album is a journey through suffering, told in its liberating and transformative power — conceiving pain not as an endpoint, but as a stage, a springboard toward something new. Over time, even the deepest wounds will turn into scars: indelible marks of a story lived, overcome, yet always worthy of being remembered for its significance.

“Itami is the symbol of who we have been, who we are, and who we will be — for us, who always find ourselves balancing between suffering and hope.”

Through sharp lyrics and the rock sound that has defined Cara Calma’s style, Itami portrays pain not as a sentence, but as a passage that can transform into something more. If faced and understood, it can become the engine of personal growth, strengthening our bond with others and fostering a more authentic and profound connection with ourselves.

Opening

Riccardo Masetti

Riccardo Masetti, born in 1990, is a songwriter and musician from Bologna. After several musical projects with bands from Emilia, as a songwriter, singer, and guitarist, he launched a solo alternative power-pop project under his own name. Acoustic in nature, it can be summed up as the image of an alternative band frontman at their most emotional moment on stage — when only guitar and voice remain. By his own description, his songs are for broken, healed, and grown hearts, and they contain intimate, reflective journeys into the soul. DIALOGO, his debut album, was released on October 29, 2021, via Believe Music Italia and RM Produzioni, receiving an excellent response from webzines and listeners alike. His second album, VEGA, was released on September 1, 2023. After numerous live appearances — both solo and as an opening act for artists such as AmbraMarie, John Qualcosa, Edda, Elephant Brain, COMETE, Il Corpo Docenti, Casemurate, Six Impossible Things, Cabrera, and others — he retreated into the studio to record what, for Riccardo, represents the essence of his project. CANZONI ORCHESTRATE brings together eight tracks in versions for guitar, voice, and strings, and was released on January 19, 2024, via RM Produzioni, his own production house. The release marked his return to live performances. KOKORO, the new studio album, was released on October 1, 2025.
