The debut album from this band from Italy.
The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, bouzouki, celtic harp, synths, flute and vocals.
This is a new band to me as I got this album earlier this fall. I got a long queue of new albums to review so this album had to wait for it's turn.
Cafune is a Portuguese word but the band is from Italy.
This album is forty minutes long and the music here is folk rock in the RPI tradition.
Bands like Fairport Convention, Pentangle, Amazing Blondel and a more folk version of Jethro Tull are good references here. Ditto for Angelo Branduardi.
The (female) vocals of Irene Lippolis are prominent in their mainly acoustic sound. There are a lot of acoustic guitars, harp and flute here in addition to the vocals.
The music is really flowery and a treat if folk rock is your thing. The songs are also good and this is a rather impressive debut album. The best folk rock album of the year ? Probably yes.
3.5 points
