Muri & Mario, at times Muri og Mario is a Danish-Italian pop duo made up of Murad Mahmoud and Mario Sciacca.
They formed the duo in 2009 putting out a number of Latin-inspired pop songs on their own Copenhagen-based label "Vieni Qua Music", an indie label with a Latin twist. Their songs often mixed bilingual Danish/Italian releases included "Mio amore" about spreading love through a canvas drawing project. It was followed by songs like "Tusind stykker" and "Cosa del amor", "På netdate fandt vi sammen" which found some following on RUclips.
It was however with "Hun tog min guitar" in 2011 that they gained big response becoming an online sensation. The song meaning "She took my guitar" in Danish was about an actual incident about Muri's ex-girlfriend who left taking away his guitar with her. She was bothered he spent more time with his guitar than with her. "She never gave the guitar back", said Muri in an interview. The big response online prompted them to release it in the summer of 2012 as their official debut single. They also organized a campaign where fans were asked to send them personal clips showing the fans performing parts of the song.
