Magia Nera is a band formed in the late 60s in the area around La Spezia. In 1973, the band secured a contract and recorded an album's worth of music, but the master tapes were destroyed in an accident. Discouraged, the band broke up, only to reconvene decades later to re-record the original material. Members of the reformed group are Emilio Farro (vocals), Pino Fontana (drums), Lello Accardo (bass), Andrea Foce (keyboards), and Bruno Cencetti (guitar).
