Musica Muta is an instrumental duo that transforms acoustic guitars into a true orchestra. Combining contemporary techniques with traditional ones, Michele Rosati and Rachele Fogu unleash energy through compelling arrangements, drawing the audience into a crescendo of emotions.
Their repertoire combines reinterpretations and original compositions with the same expressive power: from iconic pop and rock bands to singer-songwriter ballads, from film soundtracks to masterpieces of classical music, and finally to tracks from their debut album *Babilonia*, which has been reviewed by specialist blogs and magazines such as *Chitarra Acustica* and *La Sesta Corda*.
In 2025, Musica Muta were honored at the InterContinental Music Awards in Los Angeles with their piece *Vajont* — dedicated to the 1963 Italian tragedy — winning the European Alternative category in a competition celebrating the finest musical talent from around the world.
Since 2025, the duo has collaborated with CandyRat Records, one of the world’s leading labels for acoustic guitar. The partnership grew out of the music video for their arrangement of *Smoke on the Water*, where the legendary riff is brought to new life through modern fingerstyle — percussive, dynamic and exhilarating — shaped by two guitars that transform a rock classic into a journey without a single word.
From street festivals such as Ferrara Buskers Festival, Umbria Jazz, Mojoca, Artisti in Piazza in Pennabilli and Tolfarte, to acoustic guitar festivals such as Soave Guitar Festival and Madame Guitar, Musica Muta delivers intense and emotional performances that expand the very idea of what an acoustic guitar duo can be, weaving groove and melody into a unique balance between tradition and innovation.
