	Celtic Music in Italy
		Irish session music in the USA is also conservative as is Scots music in Nova Scotia, which means these are often the best places to hear old style authentic music.
		American Country music has some Celtic Character in that many (but certainly not all) of its folk song and dance music history comes from “Scots/Irish sources.” I have heard Americans lump all British Isles music together as “Celtic” which is profoundly untrue, as a great deal of English Music is Germanic in character.
		To the detriment of true Australian folk music, which was Anglo-German, reels, jigs and Irish style polka replaced the Waltzes and Versovianas of the Australian settlers.

		There is more to Italian music than the Three Tenors, "O Sole Mio," and "Volare." A burgeoning folk revival has fostered a diverse crop of ensembles and singer-songwriters hailing from throughout the country, including Naples.

		This is Italian roots music-it is important that it is heard outside of Italy.

		Unlike the generally well-produced modern roots-inspired music that we mostly play, field recordings are usually made with simple equipment and often in less-than-ideal situations.

		The mixture of rock, tarantelle, canzone Italiana, Irish folk and ska rhythms, with the energy of a rock band, often opens some interesting musical perspective: the south of Italy is always present, with its warm and beautiful melodies, and the passion for immortal, evergreen songs, in this case the Balcan flavoured cover of "Azzurro".
		Acquaragia Drom reconstruct a musical journey of gypsy caravans - a gypsy road from the sinti and manouche swing of the Alps, the saltarello in Abruzzo and Molise, the frenetic tarantella from Sicily, Puglia and Calabria to the Neapolitan and Roman gypsy serenata.

		I don't mind admitting that this collection is primarily an historical document, as the folk music and dance traditions that are captured on this CD have been greatly diminished since this recording was made in the mid-1950s.
		Folk means PEOPLE and this is music made by real people for the sake of making music, not for selling mass quantities of CDs.
		Lomax was a musical anthropologist, whose avocation was recording the indigenous music of global cultures, of which this recording is an example par excellence.

	FolkWorld Article: Ned Ludd - Italian Roots Music
		"The music of Ned Ludd", Gianluca describes, "is an attempt to create new folk music; the use of acoustic instruments and rhythms of this genre faces with our background of rock and jazz musicians and audiences.
		Ned Ludd's songs are all in Italian and written by Gianluca; the texts seem to be often very political (as the Non-Italian can find out in the English translations of the songs in the booklet).
		Music can reach people where words can't - for example also foreign audiences, or children who dance to the music etc. We try to carry the same ideas in our music as we do in our texts.

	Italian Treasury: Folk Music & Song of Italy - Alan Lomax - Music Reviews
		Alan Lomax, the man who apparently never slept in the 1950s in his quest to document various forms of international folk music throughout the world, made Italy his stop in the spring of 1953.
		Italy is a large country with diverse folk musics, and it's impossible to generalize, even in a sweeping manner, about the nature of the sounds documented on this disc -- which was, of course, one of the points of Lomax's expeditions.
		There are stark vocals with only jew's harp as accompaniment, sea chanteys, male choruses, accordion music, spooky dances with frame drum and mobile hammers as percussion, guitar ballads, brass bands and more.

	Italian Folk Music: #25
		Your comment really got me thinkin'; I've been pondering on questions that've popped up as a result, especially about authors that've entered the canon of "classic contemporary fiction," but get glossed over in favor of Twain and Ernie and Dickins and Hawthorne and F. Scott.
		Here are some that I thought of--mind you, these folks are great writers that are recognized as such but don't linger in/terrorize the minds of students for decades, OR authors that are generally ONLY known for one or two pieces, despite great resumes.
		I've met some folks that end up buying the book, loving it, and then assuming that's all they should read by O'Brien.
