| | Jovanotti: Il quinto mondo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) |
 | | A significant part of the album is blatantly funky: breakneck rhythms, "American" acoustics, acrobatic constructions by wind instruments, all elements to which Jovanotti has accustomed us over the past few years, but which here are especially successful (listen to "Un uomo" and "Morirò d'amore"). |
 | | Then there's the more "Brazilian" part of the album, which came to Jovanotti during a trip to Bahia, with some pieces that reveal the "darker" acoustics typical of that country. |
 | | This is not an album of typical Italian songs, spiced up with a little bossanova, but articulate melodies, intelligent harmonies and tribal percussion, all bound together in a consistent, imaginative manner (in the track "Canzone d'amore esagerata" Paul Simon's "Rhythm of the Saints" even comes to mind). |
