CANTODISCANTO Malmediterraneo

Forrest HILL Records/ distr. Harmony, 2003

Gabin Dabire from the Burkina Faso, Faisal Taher from Palestine, are the jollies of many productions that go to inquire in the heart of the music of the Mediterranean, Lao Kouyare with its tinkling kora: they are the special hosts of this beautiful plan, decidedly necessary in these bitter times: " History of war, love and peace from the South of the World ", is the subtitle chosen for the presentation in concert of all the project. The English of fRoots Magazine are shrewded first of all, choosing one of their song for an intelligent compilation between tradition

and innovation. Guido Sodo faces with sure catch the classic and popular ropes (guitar battente, oud), Silvia Testoni puts an evocative voice, luminous like a beautiful possible day. And sure music pulses between ethnojazz and noble "author song", with many geographic stages grazed, alluded, tried and found.
