Andrew Alamango

Andrew Alamango is a co-founder of the modern folk group Etnika. Following Ruben Zahra's departure to Oakland in August 2000, in order to further his musical studies, Alamango took over the Etnika's management and project concept development. Under his aegis, Etnika presented six highly successful annual events between 2001 and 2007. Alamango is known for his musical versality, having performed with the traditional Maltese żummara, flejguta, tanbur and guitar to the mandolin and oud. In July 2003 Alamango and Etnika launched the album Żifna at the Bedouin Bar in Saint Julians.

In 2010 undertook the restoration and re-release of thirty 78rpm shellacs from the 1930s, published in his book entitled Malta's Lost Voices.
