ARGIA by ALBERTO BALIA & ENRICO FRONGIA (Sardegna)
Sardinia, island at the centre of Mediterranean Sea, is a land rich of ancient traditions, still live and vivid today. Learnedly alternating traditional melodies, coming from different parts of the island, with their own compositions, BALIA and FRONGIA prove to be not only very good performers but also innovators of the Sardinian musical traditon.
Serenades, nonsense rhymes, songs, ballads, dance tunes: these are the starting points for a record made with a coherent inspiration, in which guitars and voices are working for a really original sound.
