/Ethnic music, World Music, Live session/
Comment: captivating ethnic music-tinged incantations and colourful wassails by a septet from Salento, Puglia, the southern part of Italy. By listening to it am not wondering at all about the fact that they were awarded as the best Italian World Music group in 2010. These 7 tracks are laced together from diverse influences from different places of the world, however, which used to swing and stomp and exult incessantly or on the other side taking on more brooding (Questa Matina) or droning (Tira Cavallu) gears. The songs are variegated with female and male-sung voices and more instrument-relied endeavors (Indiavolata). At Indiavolata the combo gets quite close to the sonorous yet pensive aesthetics of Penguin Cafe Orchestra. Great
