Was supposed to at this point a nice article about the heroes of the Italian ska-punk "Banda Bassotti" appear, but since the AKA, the here and here has done a lot more detailed and meticulous, than I would ever have thought that I, at this point out only earnestly the Godfathers of Italian ska with Attitude: For me recently is a band from Marghera (Veneto, northeastern Italy) have noticed that with her album "Combat Circus" not just from the title in the large footsteps of the dachshund band at Picchio singers seem to occur. The deep north-east of Italy's boot seems to be a particularly fertile area for young, enthusiastic band who want to give the protest and the discomfort of the children of the consumer generation, according to expression, but with Talco appears to have found a truly outstanding formation of the well adequately and highly entertaining succeed. And since in 2001.
So CombatSka Talco make a quick and cheerful blend of ska and punk, played technically much cleaner - and especially sung better - than the Banda Bassotti themselves, though they share the political orientation, their status within the Italian left, but they of course still need to work out. I find myself saying again very nice the folk-sprinklings, fragments of the Sinti and Roma culture, flanked by traditional circus elements and - last but not least - the songs of the Resistance (in addition to the mandatory version of the partisan evergreens Bella Ciao is the melody of " Fischia il Vento "in" Il Passo Del Caciurdo "interwoven). Anspieltipps is the rousing "La Carovana", the "Combat Circus" opens fast and happy and at the Modena City Ramblers ("Banda del Sogno interrotto") reminiscent of "La Sedia Vuota". Anyone with Gogol Bordello, Mano Negra, and ska-p can do something, anyway, should have no problems with Talco.
A total of Talco, for me - you'll forgive my ignorance so far - one of the more exciting discoveries in the Italian music market. Although the band in Italy is unfortunately seen by few, can get over the music with a political statement, it seems to have already gained a wider fan base in Germany. And so it is probably that of ednett schoenetoene had already been made on it in May , when I heard Cockney Rejects. The albums of Talco you can download for free at Jamendo fortunately (the new not yet, you can be, but on the MySpace page the band listen to and download individual tracks). My recommendation: the power, bringing the fun into the car stereo, windows down and turned up the volume until the speakers begin to ring. The ideal soundtrack for driving to a picnic in the countryside surrounding Berlin politically correct! I wish the German Left would be times relaxed, relaxed, cheerful and danceable show.
Lotta allegria e, e allegria lotta!
