Mau MauDea (Felmay) The hard driving multi-culti band from Turin are back with a Brazilian inflection that always returns to Italy, particularly the Salento, and France. This 2007 release shows they are still the band to imitate in Italy!

From Wikipedia: The band was formed in 1991 on the initiative of Luca Morino, Fabio Barovero and, from Cameroon, Bienvenu Tatè Nsongan. The musical project is a link of the African and South American rhythms. The name is based on the Kenyan movement against British colonial administration. But Mau Mau in the Piedmontese indicates those people who come from far, often with cheap difficulties. In 1992 they publish their first discographer work in Piedmontese: the EP Soma la macia (We are the scrub). Peter Gabriel notices them and he invites the band to his Real World Studios to prepare the first album: Sauta Rabel (Let's Jump, Let's Make Such a Row). After the album, a tour begin and the band frequents important festivals. The band plays to the "Palestine International Dance & Music Festival" and to the "International Festival of Babylon", in Iraq. La band torinese torna con un album molto sentito che recupera la poesia näif di certe canzoni della prima Acustica Tribù e al tempo stesso sfodera gli artigli combinando chitarre elettriche, fiati e percussioni in un sound decisamente originale ed energetico. Se mai esistesse il tropicalismo piemontese DEA potrebbe essere il manifesto musicale del movimento.

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.
