Pitura Freska: 'na bruta banda (Psycho/BMG, 1991)

Pitura Freska were a reggae/ska group from Venice. They sung in Venetian dialect and got quite known with a provocatory song they played for Sanremo Festival in 1997, "Papa nero". Here's their first album, very funny and pleasant, specially if you can understand the lyrics, which deal with social and protest themes in an optimistic and light way. The production may seem a bit too polished, but such sunny songs as "Marghera", "Bateo" and "Pin Floi" do sound good the same.
