Folk Music from Italy
Various Artists

These rare recordings of Italian folk music were made by Walther Hennig in 1954. The album includes unusual examples of songs and dances from Sardinia, Sicily, Capri, and the “Albanian” villages of southern Italy. Various tarantellas peppered throughout the recording reflect the musical characteristics of their respective regions. To capture the true sounds of Italy, Hennig turned to cobblers and farmers, who make their music on the job. This compilation is recorded ethnography that extends to the furthest reaches of Italy, revealing its expansive musical diversity.
