Ferrante, Massimo - U' Ciucciu
SKU
08-FY8090
Voices and sounds from Southern Italy runs the subtitle of the debut album, from Massimo Ferrante, an artist who, after a tough apprenticeship, has begun to win widespread popular and critical acclaim. The fruit of an assiduous quest for a sound striking a perfect balance between ancient and modern, U Ciucciu effortlessly spans the folk traditions of Sicily, Calabria and Campania, there's also room for an impassioned homage to the greats of Southern Italian folk music, especially Rosa Balistreri and Otello Profazio. After U Ciucciu Massimo Ferrante will no longer simply be known as "Daniele Sepe's singer". [Felmay]
