An abandoned railway line. History and the stories that passed along its tracks. Memories of migrants, travellers, workers and lovers, all evoked by Luca Rinaudo's electronics and Mario Romeo's accordion, in a radical rework of the choral drama "Along these Tracks" ("Umanità su rotaia", H2Vox, 2020).

Una linea ferroviaria abbandonata. La Storia e le storie che l'hanno attraversata. Memorie di migranti, viaggiatori, sfruttati e innamorati, evocati dall'elettronica di Luca Rinaudo e la fisarmonica di Mario Romeo, in un rework radicale del dramma corale "Umanità su rotaia" (H2Vox, 2020).

What's in a name?
“Almendra” is the Spanish name of the almond, the fruit whose earliest varieties came from China, carried via the Silk Road to the Middle East and the countries which surround the Mediterranean Sea. The word "almond" comes from the Greek αμυγδαλη (amygdalē), an almond, and "amygdala" is how is now called the brain structure which has a key role in the processing and memory of emotions.
The almond is highly revered in many cultures all over the World. Explorers ate almonds as sustenance as they travelled the Silk Road. In the Old Testament, the almond was a symbol of watchfulness and promise due to its early flowering. In classical times Romans tossed almonds at the bride and groom to wish the couple fertility, prosperity and luck. In India, eating almonds is believed to be good for the brain, and the Chinese consider the almond a symbol of female beauty.
Modern nutritional science shows that almonds are incredibly rich in dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, and research cannot stress enough the health benefits of a regular consumption of these precious gifts Nature gives us.
Nowadays almonds are products of excellence local to Almendra Music's homeland, Sicily.
