Folkabbestia
Il senso della Vita (The meaning of life)
$16.99
In the grand tradition of folk rock and acoustic madness that has swept Italy in the last decade, Folkabbestia certainly are destined to lead rather than follow. This six-piece ensemble rocks, roars, and rollicks their way through a traditional repetoire with little sense of decency or decorum, and the better they are for it! You'll hear tarantella, ska, jazz, rock and hybrids yet invented. It all makes a strange sense when you listen.
Lorenzo Mannsarini (lead vocals, Guitar)
Michele Sansone (Accordion)
Guiseppe Porsia (Flute, Guitar)
Francesco Fiore (Bass)
Nicola de Liso (Percussion)
Fabio Losito (Violin)
vocals by the ensemble and guest musicians contribute sax, horn, a string quartet and a municipal brass band from Surbo!

The record label says:
In a laconic and ironic way, FOLKABBESTIA tell their tales
of tragic love stories or other adventures with an unhappy
ending.
FOLKABBESTA play sentimental sailors' songs, Italian
anthems like "Azzurro", songs about love and loss, pirates
and partisans, presented with an optimistic punk attitude.
The members of the band come from the city of Puglia, one
of the southernomst regions of Italy, opposite the coast
of Albania. Far from the frenetic hurry, and law and or-
der of the industrial cities of the north, the tip of the heel
of italy plunges deep into the Mediterranian Sea.
So it is easy to understand how the musical traditions
of the southern Italian region, as well as neighbouring
cultures, have influenced FOLKABBESTA's compositions.
With modern as well as traditional instruments (violin,
accordion, mandolin), FOLKABBESTA deliver a great
live performance, transferring their own sense of fun onto
the audience - jigging and whirling around until completely
exhausted.
FOLKABBESTIA are six young guys from Italy who play an
energetic and fun-laden mixture of Ska, Polka, Tarantella,
Irish Folk, Slavic melodies and Italian Canzones. With "Il
Senso della Vita", their international debut CD, FOLKA-
BBESTIA spread their distinctive and sometimes anarchic
humour across Europe - and finally, the meaning of life -
Il Senso della Vita is solved.

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.
