Inchiuvatu - Addisiu

Review by PARTHENA PAPADOPOYLOY

Inchiuvatu's latest album, Addisiu, is a masterpiece of Sicilian folk music. The band has expertly blended traditional Sicilian sounds with contemporary influences, creating a unique and captivating listening experience.

The album opens with "Sicilia Bedda," a hauntingly beautiful track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Inchiuvatu's use of traditional Sicilian instruments such as the tamburello and the accordion, combined with modern beats and electronic sounds, creates a sound that is both familiar and fresh.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Addisiu," the title track. The song features powerful vocals from lead singer, Rosa Cannella, and a driving beat that is impossible not to dance to. The lyrics are in Sicilian, but the emotion behind the words is universal.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Notti di Luna," a dreamy ballad that showcases the band's softer side, and "Terra Nostra," a rousing anthem that celebrates Sicilian culture and heritage.

Summary by PARTHENA PAPADOPOYLOY

Addisiu is a triumph for Inchiuvatu. The band has created an album that is both authentic and innovative, and will appeal to fans of traditional Sicilian music as well as those who appreciate modern world music. Highly recommended.
