Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 1986 by Global Village Music, this collection sought to document the diverse folk traditions of Southern Italy, a region often underrepresented in the global world music market at the time. The project was compiled by ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax and other field researchers who aimed to preserve the raw, authentic sound of rural village life in Calabria, Campania, Basilicata, and Abruzzi before these traditions were fully eclipsed by modernization.

The album features field recordings that highlight distinct local instruments like the zampogna and the organetto, capturing a sonic landscape rooted in centuries of agricultural and ritual life. The design reflects the label's focus on cultural archival, presenting the music as a serious ethnographic document. It was well-received by folk music scholars and international ethnomusicologists for its clarity and its commitment to presenting the grit and passion of Italian regional music without aesthetic polish.
