Editor's Note
Blogfoolk #418 offers an appetizing and varied menu. We start with "Benvenguts à bòrd", the first long-lasting album of Gran Bal Dub, the joint adventure of Lou Dalfin's frontman Sergio Berardo and the musician and producer Madaski. We interviewed Madaski to learn more about this musical undertaking andlive show widely appreciated throughout Italy. From the Italian Occitan valleys we reach Basilicata for " Vento di terra, vento di mare", the results of the meeting between the Lucania band Renanera and Vittorio De Scalzi. The world music page offers the recommended record of the week which is "Wolf's cry", the return of the French- Mongolian-Bulgarian trio Violons Barbares. It continues with the excellent "Karsilama" by the percussionist Ashti Abdo, the guitarist Manuel Buda and the violão de choro player Fabio Marconi. We then deal with "Al Chile", the vibrant, latest CD of the Mexican songstress Lila Downs. For the live music column you'll find the chronicle of this year's edition of Umbria Jazz Festival, held in Perugia. Let's go back to CD reviews with "Retrò" by Jacopo Perosino and Casino di Terra's "Cosa potrebbe Accadere". Also, there is Arlo Bigazzi' s "Tribæ Soundtrack", feat. Blaine L. Reininger, Pier Luigi Andreoni and Mirio Casottini. Finally, Valerio Corzani's pic presents diatonic accordionist Enzo G. Conti from the Piedmontese band I Tre Martelli, 2019 Lifetime Achievement Award in the XV edition of Premio Nazionale Città di Loano per la Musica Tradizionale Italiana in progress in the western Ligurian seaside town.
