We open Blogfoolk #369 with “Privé”, awaited return of the Avion Travel, work conceived during last year's Retuour with the guitarist Fausto Mesolella as author of some songs. We interviewed Peppe Servillo, frontman of the group from Caserta, to let him describe the record, go in depth with themes and musical choices, without forgetting about the relationship with the stage. From Molise we have “Una Nuova Storia” from Patrios, septet inspecting new paths between folk, blues, funky and pop. On the World section, “Deixaas”, fifth work of the explosive Galician composer and multi-instrumentalist Mercedes Peón, reinforces the union between contemporary sounds and stylstic features from North West Iberia. The schedule proceeds with the progressive folk of “Midlands” of the Sicilian band Harundo and the anthology “Folk From Estonia Vol.5”, edited by Nordic Notes. In regard to live music we offer a report of the 2018 edition of the Folk By the Sea Awards, Premio Nazionale Loano for traditional Italian music, the account of the Roman premiere of “Fabolous Trickster” at Isola Tiberina, the film-documentary about Antonio Infantino, directed by the composer Luigi Cinque, and finally the concert of SuRealistas, held on July 18th at Club 55 in Rome. To complete the issue we have a review of “Threnody” of K. Leimer and the back cover is the snap-shot of Valerio Corzani dealing with Ablaye Cissoko. (Traduzione Edoardo Marcarini)
