CANZONI POPOLARI by FABRIZIO POGGI TURUTUTELA (Lombardia)

This FABRIZIO POGGI's album is a warm dedication and a sincere homage to the world and culture of Lombardy, immortalised in the musical tales of its storytellers - mythical figures known as turututela - who, armed with their rustic one-string guitar, used to wear off the soles of their shoes wandering around towns and villages, recounting to passers-by adventures and misadventures of a time when today's mass media had relatively little influence on people's "cultural" formation. It is precisely these travelling narrators, mouthpieces for simple melodies and crude or invented stories, that FABRIZIO POGGI brings back to life on this record, and with them the whole spirit of an era. Canzoni popolari includes several skilfully rearranged pieces which hail from this tradition, together with a number of tracks written by POGGI himself.
