Click
on the following web address to learn more about traditional folk songs of the
Abruzzi, and listen to sound clips of traditional folksongs. Carlo Di
Silvestre, a musicologist and collector of oral Abruzzese songs, for which he
also writes down the music while listening, a teacher of music and director of
the Ethnographic museum in Mutignano, near Pineto, province of Teramo, has
formed an association "Il Passagallo" with five more enthusiasts.
They have just landed on the web at http://www.ilpassagallo.org.
On their website you'll find 2 never before published MP3's with original
Abruzzese folk songs handed down orally from generation to generation.
There is a lot of interest here in Abruzzo for what they are doing since the
music and lyrics they are collecting are on the brink of extinction, since
nobody has ever written them down. At Abruzzo2000 we think you'll like it
(the songs especially). They'll have an English version of the site
soon.
(You must have a soundcard and be
able to play .mp3 format clips)
