Calicanto, one of the most important bands in the Italian folk music landscape, presents the double CD ’25 anni Calicanto’. This work is an anthology that walks through the history of the ensemble, which was born in Padova 25 years ago. By publishing this music, Calicanto finds an important occasion for thinking about past times and for concentrating on the future. In the CDs Calicanto presents some new re-arrangements of old tunes belonging to its repertoire taken from sold-out old publications deeply beloved by fans and friends.

The work offers also some tunes that young Calicanto’s fans don’t know, such as 'Il circo Zac' and 'Verdolina' and some tunes born thanks to the artistic collaboration with international musicians: french J.M. Carlotti, bulgarian N. Jordanov, Alfio Antico, Paco Diez and Milladoiro from Santiago de Compostela, with whom Calicanto played ‘live’ a striking version of 'Contraddanze di Spalato'.

All the tunes in CD 1 have been recorded live on September 8th, 2006 during the concert held in Villa Godi-Marinoni in Barbarano Vicentino (sound engineers Paolo Bernardini and Claudio Bellin), except for track 1 and 12 recorded on September 11th, 2005 at CENSER in Rovigo during the IV Festival `Ande, Bali e Cante´ (sound engineers Giorgio Spolaor and Blue Train´s staff).
