Gilfema

Gilfema

Gilfema is a jazz trio consisting of guitarist Lionel Loueke, bassist Massimo Biolcati, and drummer Ferenc Nemeth. The name of the group is derived from the first letters of the musicians' names, "Gil" for Lionel "Gil"les Loueke. The three musicians from entirely different geographical backgrounds (Loueke from West Africa, Nemeth from Hungary, Biolcati the Italian born in Sweden) met at Berklee. [cite web
