Free Music Review: Did not care for this CD
Hit: 1 Stars
We realize that taste in music is very subjective, but we did not at all like this CD which we ordered for an Italian-themed party we were holding at a restaurant. The vocals were expecially bad, and we also did not care for the instrumentation on the compilation. So many of the selections sounded shallow, and tinny....just don't know how to describe it but it was definitely not the robust and happy compilation we thought we were getting. Just our two cents. It wasn't what we were looking for.
Putumayo Presents: Italian Caf? Poster
After the chaos and destruction of World War II and the conservative musical environment Italian leaders promoted, the Italian public was ready for a more relaxed sound. Jazz, swing and boogie-woogie were achieving worldwide popularity and merged with the Italian crooner tradition. The musical rebirth of the 1950s and '60s was like a second liberation. Putumayo's Italian Caf? captures the music and attitude from that era and from current singers whose musical DNA follows that lineage. While most foreign music was banned under the Italian fascist regime, Fred Buscaglione wound up in a U.S. internment camp, where he was able to get a jumpstart in trying out the styles emerging from America. Quartetto Cetra emerged in the late '40s, when they provided the overdubs for the Italian versions of the movies Dumbo and Wizard of Oz. The following decade found Renato Carosone blending Neapolitan folk music with American jazz and boogie-woogie to create a signature style that made him a household name in Italy and a chart-topping crooner in the U.S.Nicola Arigliano is the only 1950s-era artist on Italian Caf? performing to this day. Born in 1923 in a small village in southern Italy, Arigliano ran away from home when he was just 11 years old to play music in the nightclubs of Milan. Arigliano disappeared from the concert stage for 30 years. In the past decade he re-emerged with four new albums.
Gianmaria Testa is more famous abroad than he is at home in Italy, where he works as a train station manager. You can hear his trademark gruff, whispering voice on two songs on Italian Caf?. Daniele Silvestri's "Le Cose in Comune" won Italy's equivalent of the Grammy, as best song of the year.
The collection features extensive liner notes in English, Italian, Spanish and French.
