The return of BONIFICA EMILIANA VENETA with a new CD Materiali
Tradizionali is an event of some importance, especially
considering how long it has been since their last release,
Variabile Naturale (2001).
Few records but a choice few, it could well be said of BEV's
discography. Indeed the group who first emerged on the scene
in 1998 have only made, beside the above mentioned Variabile
/Naturale, one other album 1999's Apotropaica, although some
of the members were previously part of another historic
Italian folk outfit, La Piva dal Carner, two of whose albums,
the estimable La pegra la mateina la bela e la sira la bala
(nt 6735) and M'han presa, (fy 8001) are still available.
BEV's new offering Materiali Tradizionali, is the fruit of the
labours of Claudio Pesky Caroli (double bass, vocals), Marco
Mainini (vocals, guitar, piva, soprano sax) and Alessandro
Mottaran (piva, mandoloncello, clarinet, vocals) together with
two new arrivals Marco Dainese (viola, vocals) e Walter Sigolo
(accordion, vocals) as well as a host of guest musicians who
have all added their touch to the proceedings: double bassist
Giorgio Panagin, folk accordionist Silvano Brancalion,
percussionists Sbibu, Tiziano Negrello and Sergio Amabile (the
latter also a member of La Piva dal Carner). On Materiali
Tradizionali fans of this Emilian-Venetian outfit are treated
to the familiar, deftly woven tapestry of vocal and
instrumental arrangements which years of experience has pushed
to new heights of perfection. The extremely varied variety of
tracks abounds in surprises, discoveries, unearthings and
reworkings, a testament too the enormous wealth and vitality
of the Italian folk heritage which continues to turn up new
treasures. After the anti-militarist prologue of Al quartiere
d'Ungheria the album begins with a piva in A minor by Paolo
Orlandi, a violinist from Parma who died in 1883, and
continues with an invigorating array of dances, songs on
various themes (sometimes in the from of instrumental
reworkings) furlanes, strambottos, gigues, waltzes as well as
an extraordinary folk dies irae played with all the pathos the
group can muster. Materiali Tradizionali is infused with a
strength and vigour that make it much more than simply another
confirmation of this excellent group's talents. It's a record
that marks another important chapter in the history of Italian
folk music.
