Riccardo Tesi
Acqua, foco e vento (CD)

FY8060

Melodeon player RICCARDO TESI's long awaited new record is now available for his many fans to enjoy. Acqua, foco e vento is an elaborate exploration of Tuscan folklore, in particular that of the mountainous area surrounding the town of Pistoia.
With the help of a clutch of guest musicians (who show their passion and enthusiasm on all of the album's tracks) TESI reveals himself once again as a great connoisseur of Italian folk tradition, an artist dedicated to digging up his native musical heritage. His new CD provides the occasion for getting to know once again the art of a pastoral world that was quickly forgotten in the post-war period and almost definitively erased from collective memory in the 1960s on account of heavy urbanization and material "progress".
On track after track, using documents and field recordings made by musicologists in the 1970s, TESI and companions reconstruct a world of great beauty and musical perfection, eschewing the rhetoric often tied to the peasant world and offering the listener instead a panoply of gleaming sounds cleared of ideological rust.
Through a repertory of work songs, ballads, nursery rhymes, lullabies and love songs, the function this music had in the daily life of the Pistoia region's inhabitants once again becomes clear as does their relationship to their neighbours in the Grossetano and Senese areas, not to mention with Corsica where Pistoians went in search of seasonal work as shepherds and coalmen.
Acqua, foco e vento features rewritings and arrangements of considerable refinement which, setting philology aside, reveal a great affection for the tradition and a capacity to draw out its true essence.
Over the course of a twenty-year career Pistoia-born RICCARDO TESI has made his mark not only in the field of ethnic music but in contexts ranging from the jazz to the Italian singer-songwriter scenes. A gifted instrumentalist, RICCARDO TESI is a complete musician and a fertile and inventive composer. Since his 1978 debut with Caterina Bueno, he has become one of the leading names on the Italian folk scene. Subsequent collaborations with famous European and international artists such as Vaillant, Kirkpatrick, Perrone, Junkera and Justin Valì won him a reputation outside of Italy. Fueled by these experiences, in 1983 TESI made Il ballo della lepre, an essential document of Italian folk music centred on the organ repertory of central and southern Italy before turning definitively to his own Tuscan roots. With the group BANDITALIANA, he went on to produce two records, the self-titled debut (Dunya fy 8022) followed by Thapsos (Dunya fy 8034), a mature and fully achieved work that won the acclaim of fans of obscure music traditions for its myriad styles and perfect balance between Mediterranean sounds and jazz improvisation and between folk melodies and virtuoso passages.
