The local music scene continues to stand out, welcoming new talents such as Alex Marotta, a well-known pianist specializing in soundtracks for films and documentaries. Recently returned to Limatola, a city to which he is strongly attached, he announced the formation of a new band, called “back star's”.
After the success of a charity concert in Verona, Marotta is ready to perform in his hometown.
An innovative project
The new band aims to explore the cinematic music of the last decades, reinterpreting iconic soundtracks. The members of “back star's” contribute their different musical experiences, creating a unique sound that combines talent and passion. The idea is to offer an authentic tribute to the history of soundtracks, taking the audience on a musical journey through the ages.
Authentic research and sounds
A distinctive aspect of the project is the careful research and selection of songs, performed strictly live. The musicians, all from Sannio, are committed to faithfully reconstructing the emotions and original atmospheres of the cinematographic works. The attention to musical philology allows these compositions to be revisited with respect and authenticity. With the debut of the official lineup scheduled for summer 2025, the band is preparing to illuminate the local musical scene.
The name “back star's” is a play on words that symbolizes both the tribute to the “old stars” of cinema and the birth of a new artistic project. With the arrival of summer, the sky of Limatola is preparing to shine with new musical promises, in the name of a cultural heritage that continues to evolve.

The musical scene is interesting but I don't know if the band back star's will have the success they hoped for. The soundtracks are nice, but there are already many bands that do this kind of music. I hope they differentiate themselves.
