Editor's Note
September opens with our disc of the month, which is Orchestra Bailam and Canterini Genovesi’s “Trallalero Levantìn”, an album that celebrates thirty years of musical voyage of the Genoese formation along the eastern Mediterranean routes, also representing the ideal sequel to the excellent “Galata”. Orchestra Bailam and the singers squad combine the modes and rhythms of the rich cultural mix of the Ottoman age with the Genoese urban polyphonies known as trallalero. We have spoken to the Bailam’s frontman, composer and multi-instrumentalist Franco Minelli to learn more about their latest release. We still follow the paths of world music with the valuable “The Nefes of the Sufi Bekhtâshî brotherhood in Istanbul and the Balkans” by the Ensemble Bîrûn, directed by Kudsi Erguer. It’s the new chapter of the Venetian study program held by Intercultural Institute of Comparative Musical Studies, exploring the heritage of a Sufi brotherhood. Still from the Middle East, we review “Diwan” by Shahbaz Hussain & Helen Anahita Wilson. Then we fly to Nashville for “Old News” by The Steel Woods quartet to finally reach Brazil for “Rebujo”, which marks the octogenarian Dona Onete’s comeback, an album at the top of the September Transglobal World Music Chart. Let’s focus on live music with the chronicle of the controversial twenty-second edition of La Notte della Taranta. The song-writing column presents Adel Tirant’s “Adele and his heroes”, while Suoni Jazz section offers “Tarantavirus Jazz Night”, displaying a live performance of the acrobatic Salentine trumpeter Cesare Dell’Anna. We deal with the reissue of “Apollo: Atmospheres And Soundtrack” by Brian Eno, with Daniel Lanois and Roger Eno. To end issue 422 we see the German electronic composer Apparat through Valerio Corzani’s lens.
