Felmay

Felmay is an independent Italian record label based in Turin, active since 1995. Founded by Renzo Pognant Gros and Giuseppe Greppi, the label specializes in acoustic music rooted in traditional repertoires, with a catalogue of over 350 titles featuring musicians from more than 35 countries. Its core mission is to reinterpret Italian traditional music in a contemporary key, exploring sounds from the north to the south of the country, including the islands. Alongside this, Felmay produces recordings linked to Eastern traditions and occasionally ventures into jazz, experimental rock, and the sacred world of Vedic and Himalayan mantras. Over nearly three decades, Felmay has built a broad promotional network in Italy and abroad, reaching markets in Europe and the United States. Beyond record production, the label has expanded into distribution, making its network available to other labels such as Finisterre, Baraban, and Sheherazade, as well as to individual artists. It also operates in music publishing, supporting Italian and international artists in managing and promoting their works. Felmay has entered iTunes and Deezer top lists in European and Asian countries including Pakistan, Vietnam, and Azerbaijan. The label also runs Onde, a specialized retail outlet in Turin.

Felmay was founded in 1995 in Turin by Renzo Pognant Gros and Giuseppe Greppi as an independent record label. From the outset, it focused on ethnic and world music, particularly from Italian and Asian artists, with a special emphasis on the Indian subcontinent and the Middle East. The label's mission was to reinterpret Italian traditional music in a contemporary key, spanning from the north to the south of the country, including the islands. Alongside this, it produced recordings from the vast universe of Eastern traditions, with occasional forays into jazz, semi-rock, and explorations of Vedic and Himalayan mantras. Over the years, Felmay expanded its activities beyond record production into distribution, making its network available to other labels such as Finisterre, Baraban, and Sheherazade, as well as to individual artists. It currently represents several Italian record labels. The label has also entered the top lists of iTunes and Deezer in European and Asian countries including Pakistan, Vietnam, and Azerbaijan. In addition to its production and distribution work, Felmay is active in music publishing, supporting both Italian and foreign artists. The label operates Onde, its specialized point of sale in Turin. With a catalogue of over 350 titles and musicians from more than 35 countries, Felmay has developed a broad promotional network in Italy and abroad, reaching markets in Europe and the United States.
