	Sardinia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sardinia /sɑː(ɹ)ˈdɪnɪə/ (Sardegna in Italian, Sardigna or Sardinna in the Sardinian language, is the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea (Sicily is the largest), between Italy, Spain and Tunisia, south of Corsica.
		From 456 - 534, Sardinia was a part of the short-lived kingdom of the Vandals in North Africa, until reconquered by the Byzantine emperor Justinian I.
		In 1323, the Kingdom of Aragon began a campaign to conquer Sardinia; the giudicato of Arborea successfully resisted this and for a time came to control nearly the entire island, but its last ruler William III of Narbonne, was eventually defeated by the Aragonese in the decisive Battle of Sanluri, June 30, 1409.

		Their music features tablas and electric beat, muttos and acoustic giutar riffs, marranzano and energetic outbursts, and it neverthless never betrays the poetry of the Sardinian tenores, the lullabies, religious songs and Sardinian tongue twister written to fascinate children.

		Bitti is in central Sardinia; this repertoire originates in the regions of Baronia and Barbagia, slightly north and east of the centre.
		A tenore music is performed by a group of four singers which have a specific nomenclature: the boke (soloist), the bassu (who intones the tonic), the contra (singing the fifth above) and the mesa'oke, who sings the octave above the tonic.
		There is also secular music of another kind, whose natural outlet is found in poetic-musical duels (something similar occurs in certain regions of Brazil), and the natural forum for this is the village festival.

	Music of Italy: CDRoots
		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.
		This rich musical menu sometimes overloads his records with ideas and details, but in songs like 'Raggatruffen' his musical wizardy shines through when he combines Italian folk tradition with rap and ragga.
		Beyond simplistic categorisations, Italian roots music remains nomadic by nature and quite at ease with recent and ancient influences from gypsy and klezmer music such as those heard in the tunes by Acquaragia Drom (Rome) and Ziganamama (Bari, Puglia).

	The Artists
		These variations of the Irish music scene overlapped with one of the less happy periods of the social history of Ireland.
		Musicians needed a solid musical base to play for hours and hours in noisy and crowded dance halls: this base could be the accompaniment by a piano, or a full rhythm section with piano, guitar, bass and drums.
		These new Celtic musicians were someway able to increase the interest for Celtic music in a generation closer to the musical styles of popular musicians such as the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan than to the great Irish musicians of the past, such as Padraig O'Keeffe or Willie Clancy.

		Sardinia is an island with lots of culture, with a wonderful history — the precarious economic situation and the resulting banditismo are the effect of a quasi-colonialistic relationship that the North of Italy and other Middle European countries have towards the South.

		Traditional guitar music is also found in Sardinia, represented by performers like Nino Cau; this genre is especially well-known in the northwest region of Sassari.
		Rural polyphonic chanting known as canto a tenore is related to Corsican music and is sung with four vocal parts.

		Although these gruesome acoustic ballads are hard to differentiate musically from other Mediterranean folk styles, their mere existence is controversial in Italy, where over the last few decades civil government has made a concerted effort to root out the long-lived crime families from their Southern strongholds.
		The island of Sardinia, located smack dab in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, off of Italy's western coast, has a musical culture that will still sound exotic and fresh to all but the most jaded world music fan.
		For me, Italian music has always borne the mark or terrible, terrible, terrible bad taste, from their love of watered-down disco and bland, overripe romantic pop to the kitschy croonings of various American pop vocalists (Dean Martin, et al) which just consigned the nation's music to the back bins, as far as I was concerned.
