Aktuala - Tappeto Volante (1976)

 

The third and final album from this band from Italy.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of percussion, violin, viola, guitars, balalaika, dulcimer, zither, woodwinds, harmonica and whistles.

This band released three albums between 1972 and 1976. I have reviewed their first two albums during the last weeks and have not been impressed.

The music on this forty-three minutes long album is again world-music. The band is a pioneer in that genre and their three albums are lauded in that scene.

The music sounds like a jam with lots of percussion and flutes. There are also a lot of sitar in their music.

The music is exotic but still pretty pedestrian and not particular interesting.

The result is barely a decent album. I am not an admirer of this band.
