Alle Sorgenti Delle Civilta Vol 3

Description

"Alle Sorgenti Delle Civiltà Vol. 3 - Africa, Australia, Nuova Zelanda" (1971) is the third and final chapter of a triptych of folk sound recordings released by Folkmusic. The album contains a total of fourteen tracks by Braen and Raskovich, namely the formidable multi-instrumentalists Alessandro Alessandroni and Giuliano Sorgini, each tackling seven different compositions characterized by a tribal atmosphere. Among the grooves of this record, reissued on vinyl for the first time by Musica Per Immagini, one can discern an in-depth study of one of these forms of popular culture referring to a specific geographical area, including the types of traditions often passed down orally and concerning knowledge, beliefs, fairy tales, legends, myths, narratives related to the realm of the fantastic, customs and traditions, namely music. Festivals and propitiatory rites, battles and dances, magical and sacred representations were all expressions of life whose sound and rhythm contributed to an appropriate description of the environment. Alessandro Alessandroni and Giuliano Sorgini selected some of the most significant musical characters belonging even to specific ethnic realities scattered across two distant continents, where the use of certain typical instruments fostered the realization of sounds of considerable interest.
