Formed in 1995, Verdena comprises of Alberto Ferrari (vocals and guitar), Luca Ferrari (drums) and Roberta Sammarelli (bass).

Volevo Magia follows from the recent release of the album America Latina, music inspired by the film, made for the film directed by the D’Innocenzo brothers, which marked the end of a long period of silence since their latest release, Endkadenz, a two-volume project, in 2015.

Throughout their career, Verdena have toured in Italy and Europe, gaining the reputation as one of the best live bands in the country, delivering energetic and unforgettable shows every single time.

In 2007 Verdena released their fourth album, Requiem, which like the previous one was also released in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France and Spain. In June 2007 the EP Caños wase released, which marked a change in sound: the electronic influences became a significant part of the music. The band’s fifth album, Wow, was released in January 2011 and certified gold, while the vinyl debuted second on the album chart. In April 2011 Universal released Verdena – 7EP Limited Edition, a collection of 7 EPs released by the band between 1999 and 2007.
