The story

Dumbo Gets Mad is a psychedelic pop project founded in 2011 by Italian producer, composer and sound designer Luca Bergomi, originally from Emilia. The name is inspired by the Pink Elephants on Parade scene from the film Dumbo (1941), a symbol of the childlike spirit in the face of the absurd.

Initially conceived as a duo alongside Carlotta Menozzi, the project stands out for a free-spirited vision that blends styles, vocals, languages and genres. It debuted in Los Angeles with the album Elephants at the Door, which drew international attention. The single Plumy Tale was included by Pitchfork among the top 50 songs of 2011, while Marmalade Kids was chosen as "Song of the Day" by NPR.
