Ensemble Havadià: '81-'82 (Warner Italia, 2006)

Irriverent, jocose and dynamic, this music is one of the highest peaks of the Italian "R.I.O." scene. The songs are exuberant chamber-rock divertissements, full of mockeries, calembours and sharp eccentricities. Nevertheless, the structures are extremely lucid and complicated: ubiquitous North-Italian folklore and fanfare elements clash with flabbergasting tempo shifts and early 900 classical references - daring layerings which unexpectably manage to keep light and funny; miles away from any self-indulgent prog-rock bluster.

Ensemble Havadià was a short-lived project captained by Milanese "jew atheist" Moni Ovadia, now a well-known stage actor and comedian, and closely related to "Gruppo Folk Internazionale" and Stormy Six's label "L'orchestra". "'81-'82" collects the only two records issued by the band: the eponymous 1981 LP and the 1982 EP "Specchi".

Ciao, ho tentato di scaricare l"Ensemble Havadia" via Megauplod, ma mi son ritrovato con un file che non e' un .rar non apribile in nessun modo. Ho tentato anche via Rapidshare, ma il file non esiste. Scusami se ti do fastidio. Sai, vivo Montreal e un po' d'ottima musica nostrana fa sempre bene. Il tuo blog e' stato per me una sorpresa inaspettata. Grazie per esserci.(Potresti rimediare?)
