Welcome to Blogfoolk number 372, starting with a special about La Macina, memorable research group of traditional music from Marche, founded by Gastone Pietrucci, who, on the 14th of September, will celebrate his first fifty years of activity with a special concert at Auditorium Parco Della Musica in Rome with some special guests. For the occasion, Jonathan Giustini has collected testimonies from the founder of the band, Rossana Casale, Giovanna Marini and Sara Modigliani. To illustrate the article we have Petrucci's collages which – for the first time- will be exposed in the foyer of Sala Petrassi of Parco Della Musica. The world section offers, to start, The Turbans, band of eleven elements with roots in Turkey, Bulgaria, Israel, Iran, Greece, Spain an England, whose eponymous debut is a healthy mixture of sounds. From Latvia, pay attention to “Lai Māsina Rotāiās” from the all-female ensemble Auli and Tautumeitas. We land in Mali with "Fenfo", the second album of Fatoumata Diawara. Elsewhere, an analysis of the recent discographic productions of Valcour Records, record label based in Eunice, Louisiana (“Cajun Accordion Kings – and the Queen”, Jourdan Thibodeaux et Les Rôdailleurs, Kyle Huval and The Dixie Club, Bonsoir, Catin and the tribute to Jimmy C. Newman from Joel Savoy, Kelli Jones, Caleb Klauder, e Reeb Williams). We host and share an appeal for the release of singer and musician Bobi Wine, wrongly accused of treason and imprisoned in his country. On live music we have a report of the festival “Di Voci e Di Suoni” in Capranola (VT). The book of the week is “Il canto a tenore di Orgosolo. Le registrazioni del CNSMP (1955-1961)”, volume accompanied by two Cds, edited by Sebastiano Pilosu and the Associazione Tenore Supramonte di Orgosolo, published by SquiLibri. To complete the number we offer a review of Larry Chernicoff's "Gallery Of Air" and the back cover snapshot by Valerio Corzani with Chicha Libre. (Traduzione di Edoardo Marcarini).
