2024 was a breakthrough year for I Patagarri. Their season of overwhelming growth culminated in their participation in X Factor Italia 2024. The vivacity and freshness of their music captivated audiences, making them an instant hit that Umbria Jazz wanted to include in its program. During the TV show, I Patagarri showcased their uncontrollable artistic talent, reinterpreting the songs chosen by their judge, Achille Lauro.
They reached the finale with their original song “Caravan.” The Milan-based band creates a striking contrast between the desire to escape
from everyday life and the struggles in pursuing their musical dreams, all expressed through their joyful and engaging gypsy jazz style.
“Caravan,” included in the album “X Factor Mixtape 2024,” serves as a cry for freedom—a call to take control of one’s life without fear
of living on the margins, if necessary. The caravan symbolizes a haven, representing resistance to mainstream culture and embodying hope
and dreams that should never be abandoned. According to the band, “true wealth is not measured in money, but in passion, creativity, and the will to live without compromises.”
