"The recorded adventures of Sicialians in America during the years of the emigration."
29 tracks trace the music of the Miricani, the Sicilaian emigrants to America. Singing, accompanied by mandolin and clarinet, is the dominant mode here, waltzes and polkas that helped to ease the separation from home. These 24 tracks were recorded between 1917 and 1929.

Listen:
Track 1 (1917)
Track 3 (1922)
Track 19 (1929)

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.
