We could not have been complete without an appointment for further exploration on our own artists and groups. On this occasion we will dive in the beautiful sounds made by a group that has carried and still carries the flag of Sicily beyond the island, bringing the sounds, colors, flavors and sensations of Our wonderful land.
We're talking about Ali Baba, I can not forget the first tape that I received from a friend Centuripe was the mid-90s and I still have that tape, the second album later research
seemed to be "'Nzigniti to' DUCATION, beautiful,
seemed to be "'Nzigniti to' DUCATION, beautiful,
published its '95. of that album is a song that defined an era for me and many friends, "Cu Piru Piru are born died, so many of us still echoes that" grain nta pouch nuddu you nni jetta, never statement was more believable. It 's been a while many things have changed, for others it is still referring to the midnight passage reproduced above, not on their street that they have done and as you yourself have noted got to touch the really big goals, but ... it all started back in December 1992, Ali Baba's born in Enna, Sicily, the brainchild of some local musicians from different areas musicali.Sin beginning their blend of reggae, pop and makes them a very popular group in Sicily and this leads to the unfolding of a ' intense live far and wide around the island, but not only, that continues to this day. Between sorties across the strait, we like to recall the group's holdings in two editions of Rototom in 1998 and 2001 in Lignano Osoppo.
addition, Ali Baba can claim third place at Sanremo Rock in February 2000, hosted live on Rai Radio 2, with Fiorello, and Radio DeeJay, with Albertine, and transmission to almost continuous rotation of two videos about Talent One of Italy 1. One of these, "I hear the winter," is taken from the first self titled CD of the band, the second "Phobia", the second, entitled "We like " and published in 2008 by Irma Records, Edel Distribution .
The work, produced by Max Busa and recorded independently by the band, contains ten songs on this video.
It opens with " Phobia" , in fact, part based on small and large daily phobias that afflict us, adorned with unexpected musical interlude tango. Second song is a classic electro-reggae group, a dialect song titled "Timpu and timpu malu" (good weather and bad weather) that closes with a tail typical rock. The third track, "Turn that turns you" atmosphere mixes ska and soul, while the fourth, "amplified" is on slow lines of roots. "Cars that go" pop-based reggae embroidering arabesques, then follows the second song in the dialect of the work, "Cu cu eat and Talia" (who eats and who looks ", a track where the reggae and ska alternate seamlessly continuity. "All Artists" presents reggae atmosphere and 60s big band, and is followed by "CCA fields of air" (fields of air here), a song very free and easy the text is inspired in part to a song People from Calabria. It closes the series of original songs on the CD "The Mice and the Cat," a fast ska that tells the misadventures of a group of mice and of the sacrifice of a mouse, is required to open the eyes of his fellow men. Tenth and final track is a cover of business. The song rearranged by the group is a traditional American gospel, "Go Tell It on the Mountains", shown here by the band in a truly personal, that just holds the version original.
A cd varied in style as the group, but linked by the common denominator of luminosity, melody, and danceable, always unique characteristics of the band, with lyrics now a bit 'more light-hearted and ironic, now serious reflexive, with peaks of social protest and politics.
