This got a rather flat review in RootsWorld, but I disagree. I find this music refreshing, rhythmically interesting and musically well played. This ensemble from Sardinia has found their path by abandoning the electronics in favor of more wood and sinew. It has one truly treacly moment, but otherwise, , and I think the music speaks strongly for itself. - CF
Listen to "Feminas", with it's vaguely South African rhythm and accordion groove, a great example of "world pop" without the pretense usually associated with it.
The band says:
Musicians:
Isettande is an almost transparent
acoustic record, in which the guitars, Spanish
'bandurria' and Greel 'bouzouki' court the accordion
and piano: the strings weave their sound upon a
solid rhythmic base, made up of drums and bass
which retrieve the African heart of rhythm and share
it with percussive influences, each evoking a
different piece of world.
Antonio Neglia: chitarre, mandola, mandolino, bouzouki, piffero irlandese, bandurria, voce
Claudio Corona: piano, fisa
Cristiano Martini: batteria
Elena Nulchis: seconda voce, prima voce
Gabriele Martini: basso, Voce
Pino Martini Obinu: basso, trunfe, voce, chitarra bassa
Sandro De Bellis: percussioni
Valeria Martini: prima voce, seconda voce

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am 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. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
