Singer Galeazzi hails from Umbria in Italy, and comes to this recording with a deep traditional sense of the music. Probably best known in the US for her performances with Philippe Eidel's Mammas project, she is also a veteren of classical, folk and new music. This 1997 recording was reissued in the wake of her new-found popularity, but it stands on its own. Accompanied by Massimo Nardi's guitar, percussion from Nicola Raffone, and Carlo Mariani on launeddas, a reed instrument with a drone much like a bagpipe.
Guests supply a minimum of flute, clarinet or bass.
There is a modern edge to the music, full of contemporary references that never quite overwhelm the traditional sound of the music. No matter your geographical taste in music, this is a voice you should know better. Most of our CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and we are not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition.
