Raffaele La Rizza, begins to approach music through the guitar with which he performs in various groups in his city. In 2015 he discovers his passion for the harmonica and in 2017 he begins to perform with the instrument.

The first musical project with the harmonica is called "Il Falò" (revisitation of the Italian group Nomadi). In this context Raffaele experiments with the harmonica in different contexts than usual. He arranges the songs both in a Blues key but also in a folk key. The study and dedication lead him to experiment with different tunings of the harmonica (Puddy Richter; easy Third; Minor tuning..) and other models of harmonica (tremolo; octaves; chromatic).

This journey leads him to meet Valter T. Mio guitarist and singer with whom he forms the duo "The Good Time Makers" group with which Raffaele expresses his musical and arrangement ideas to the fullest.
In addition to numerous concerts and festivals, the duo recorded 2 albums: "Incontri ravvicinati tra due artisti di un certo tipo" (cover) and "Stroie da due comuni terreri" (original songs).

Raffaele's journey continues in an artistic context that combines the arts (poetry and music). The collaboration with Francesco Nugnes leads him to arrange poems and readings in suggestive environments such as the Railway Museum of Fossano; Turin and Rome. He participates in various talks in literary and social environments: blind association, RSA.

Immersed in music, he meets new artists who seek his harmonica, the "Limentra" are founded for the revisitation of Francesco Guccini's songs.

The harmonica style:

Raffaele is a harmonica player who aims to insert the instrument into any musical context.
Often the harmonica is associated with the Blues, but it can be inserted into any musical context.
Raffaele's experiences have marked him in this by putting the harmonica first and then the musical genre.

Always looking for new ideas, he deepens the overbending technique often using it in his riffs and solos, to enrich the language.
He begins to give harmonica lessons to the people who stop to listen to his concerts
