08-FY8065
The music here is a 'reinvention of the Sicilian band sound along contemporary lines'. "This repertoire is little known or played by todays Sicilian bands and Barovero and BellArte have made a huge effort in trawling the archives of numerous musical associations to dig up a musical treasure-trove that has no doubt lain buried for years on the island. But equally important in dusting off these half-forgotten scores are the young musicians who make up the band and whose enthusiasm and technical expertise have injected new life into a music from not so far off in time that nonetheless somehow got shunted into a siding of collective memory."
