Alesh comes from the certainty that music is the best route for peace and trust between people. Especially us, men of the Mediterranean, we can not consider ourselves strangers, neither for emotions nor for culture. The ship of Odysseus, always leaving from the ports of our great lake, has brought us together for ever. And if insane policies want us to forget it, the music will always remind us.
