Editor's Note
We start with "Le Indie di Quaggiù", Radicanto’s eleventh album by Radicanto. In their new work, the Apulian band travels into southern Italy’s music in a sort of space-time journey to trace an evocative and refined sound itinerary. We have spoken to Giuseppe De Trizio, the ensemble founding member and frontman. We continue with “Torrendeadomo. Ritorno a casa ", in which the singer Sara Marini explores the connections between Umbria and Sardinia, two peculiar sounding “islands”. Next, very rich folk and world music page is offered. First, we review Jim Moray’s "The Outlander", the new release from surely not a conventional artist in the new English folk scene. We continue with "The Sisypheans", the fourth album by the singular duo, Cretan laouto player Georgios Xylouris and Australian drummer Jim White. In Finland, then, to meet singer and kantele player Emmi Kujanpää who released “Nani”. We move to the Middle East for "El Hajar", the third album originated from the collaboration between the Israeli star Dudu Tassa born to to a Mizrahi Jewish family form Iraq and the Kuwaity Brothers. Again, we propose a focus on the self-titled debut album by Bantou Mentale, who once again binds Kinshasa and Paris and denounces the violence of Boko Haram and the tragedy of Syria. Back to songwriting we offer "Cip!", Brunori Sas’ new album. For the live music page, you’ll read the chronicle of "Tempo di Chet. La versione di Chet Baker, a theatre pièce with Paolo Fresu’s music. Jarvis Cocker, as Valerio Corzani sees him, closes Foolk Magazine issue 441.
