Tamango it's not the classic emerging group. The collective born in the province of Turin released its first album on June 12th, I love youbut on social media it can already count on a community of over 128 thousand followers.
A result built even before the debut album and which today accompanies the release of the album and the announcement of Ramballonata 2026an independent tour in the suburban stadiums of four Italian cities.
Who are the Tamangos
THE Tamango they are an artistic collective founded by Marcello Maida, Federico Anello And Alberto Tirelliformer high school classmates from the Turin province.
Over time the project has expanded to involve over thirty people including musicians, creatives and collaborators who participate in the artistic and organizational aspects of the group's activity.
From 128 thousand followers to the first album
The peculiarity of the case Tamango is that the first album arrives after a long phase of growth of the community. While many artists build their audience starting from record releases, the Piedmontese collective has followed the opposite path.
I love youpublished on June 12, collects twelve songs developed in recent years and never officially released. A work that represents the project's recording debut, but not its starting point.
Scrolling through the list of followers of the collective's social profile you will find artists, authors and producers belonging to different musical worlds. A signal that tells of a visibility that has also grown within the independent and professional musical environment.
La Rampalloneta 2026 in the suburban stadiums
To present the new album, i Tamango they announced the Ramballonata 2026a self-produced tour that will visit four Italian cities during the month of July.
| Date | Location | City |
|---|---|---|
| July 4, 2026 | Colletta Stadium | Turin |
| July 11, 2026 | Carassai Stadium | Milan |
| July 18, 2026 | Pier Paolo Bonori Stadium | Bologna |
| July 25, 2026 | Antonio Nori Stadium | Rome |
The choice of “suburban stadiums” is one of the most recognizable elements of the collective's identity. Not large sports facilities, but local fields and facilities transformed into meeting places for a community that has developed around the project in recent years.
Tamango, an independent case to observe
That i Tamango whether they are still an emerging group or have already surpassed that definition is an open question. On the one hand there is a first album that has just been released, on the other a base of over 128 thousand followers and a network of supporters built before the debut album.
The Piedmontese collective represents one of the most particular cases that have emerged in recent months on the Italian independent scene: a project that has grown outside of traditional paths and has arrived at its first album with an already consolidated community behind it.
