Il Canto di Malavita: the folk music of organised crime
The mournful tunes and the acoustic guitar, mandolin, and accordion sound give the aural impression of being pretty standard Italian folk music. The collection is the work of Mimmo Siclari, who recorded and collected these performances. But armed with the lyric sheet, you will discover that these songs are largely concerned with bloodshed, the laments of prisoners, and the fearsome reputations of local crime families. Knowing what the words mean turns the mournful folk melodies into a more compelling experience.
Die Veröffentlichung der zweiten Folge der Malavita-Musik, »Omertà, Onuri e Sangu - La Musica della Mafia Vol. 2« hat eine umfassende Neustrukturierung der Malavita-Homepage erforderlich gemacht.
