Editor's Note
Linguamadre’ s “Il Canzoniere di Pasolini” is our kick off story. Linguamadre quartet is Simone and Nicolò Bottasso, Davide Ambrogio and Elsa Martin who have released a cutting-edge remarkable venture, which owes much to contemporary music as to traditional songs and tunes, composing music for Pier Paolo Pasolini’ collection of folk poems. We speak to the scholar and journalist Enrico de Angelis, who first launched the idea for a special concert at Premio Loano in 2019, and with the organetto player and composer Simone Bottasso. We continue with “Elements”, Masters Of Frame Drums’s new album, involving the four champions of the frame drums Murat Coskun, Zohar Fresco, Andrea Piccioni and Glen Velez. On “Léve Léve São Tomé & Principe Sounds 70s - 80s” you hear music from the two islands off the Gulf of Guinea, which was produced in post-independence years. Double Finnish stop for “FriXX”, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the septet Frigg, and Jaakko Laitinen & Väärä Raha’s “Börek”. Tupa Ruja’s trio “In questo viaggio” takes up back to Italy. Our reading is Tullia Conte’s “L’Altra Taranta. Annabella Rossi e il Tarantismo nel Cilento”. The jazz page offers Simone Maggio 4tet’s “Cuerdas”. Elsewhere, we review Nicola Perfetti's “New York Portrait”, the soundtrack to the trilogy of documentaries directed by Peter Hutton. Valerio Corzani’s back cover features the Swedish double bass player Dan Berglund.
