Dama project is formed thanks to a chain of events between Milan and its Hinterland which seem to be driven by Destiny.
A series of coincidences bring the singer and author Barbara Schera Vanoli and the drum player Pierfrancesco Tarantino to meet.
This latter, after having listened to a few of her songs, immediately proposes a collaboration.
The artistic feeling between the two is evident from the first moment and it grows as the songs are touched my Piero’s magical arrangements. In a short time a band starts to get together.
This band will be officially formed when the Keyboard player and sound engineer Danilo di Lorenzo, the Bass player Roberto Gelli and the Guitarist Cristian Comizzoli join.
The name ‘Dama’ is chosen in order to represent the world that their music wishes to express and the singer’s passion for gothic cathedrals dedicated to ‘Notre-Dame” in France.
Barbara’s melodies and texts merging together in Piero’s musical arrangements and characterized by a detailed research of the right sound by the other members of the band, create a fusion of sounds that contrasts with the frequencies and dynamics typical of nowadays trademarks.
North-European metal influences are mixed with gothic, pop, rock and symphonic outlines which give life to a very particular style when compared to the Italian music reality.
In the first months of the year 2008, the promo "dama" is published with 5 songs of the milanese band. the debut album ""eirwen"" was completed in 2010; it is a double album in english and italian. the italian version is entitled "immaginario" and the english version "imaginary". the titles underline the fact that "eirwen" is a fantasy world created and inhabited exclusively by barbara's creativity and imagination. the decision to keep both languages did not facilitate the quest for a record label. however, the band persevered and at the end of 2010 signed a contract with the english label ravenheart records. "eirwen" has been released on june 2011.
