From the encounter between Daniele di Bonaventura's historic Band'union and Ilaria Pilar Patassini comes an evocative musical journey into the true and deep sounds of the Bel Paese. The tradition of melodies and dialects is proposed and reworked in an elegant and passionate way through the colours of jazz and folk that enhance and renew the soul. Italia Folksongs presents itself as a cultured and popular album with well-known and lesser-known, but no fewer precious compositions: from the naples of 'Varca Lucente' to the abruzzo of 'vola vola', from 'la serenata' with the romanesque text by Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli to the sacredness` of 'Ave Maria Sarda'. Italia Folksongs is avowedly a project testifying to timeless italian music, to those melodies and wealth of regional diversities that make our country a unique land language in the world and also for this reason much loved.
