The Alan Lomax collection: Italian treasury/Puglia - The Salento (1954)


Courtesy of an anonymous reader. Track 13 is missing.
Songs of love and disdain, erotic and satiric songs, work songs and funeral laments - sung in dialect and Griko. Instrumental and vocal polyphony from the Salento, one of the most beautiful regions of Puglia, the Southeasternmost tip of Italy's heel, a crossroad between East and West and the home of a unique heritage of traditional music

This is a great blog. Being Italian American, I feel that the music of my fathers is somehow inscribed in my heart. But where to sample these treats? Now there is a place. Ciao bella - Magoo
