In un momento di relax, ascoltando Björk nel brano bag quotidiano, Babbo Natale assimila con attenzione la storia degli imminenti 140 anni della Banda di Torniella e del concerto di stasera a Scalvaia.

Lettore assiduo de Il Tirreno (che però dalle sue parti arriva un giorno dopo), era partito con il riassunto del Festival d’Inverno in Val di Farma…poi l’occhio non ha potuto non scivolare più giù.

Se finisce alla svelta la riunione con la Befana per il passaggio di consegne, forse stasera viene anche lui.

After an early departure from Linden Street, in Calcinaia,. not far from Pisa, I ended up at a farm house called “The linden”, which happens to be the home base of Etruschi from Lakota, currently rehearsing their next album, here with Tom from Cuneo on harp:

With Etruschi from Lakota, Duo set:

October 21, 2016.

Etruschi from Lakota are a young Rock Band from Montecastelli Pisano, Southern Tuscany, Italy. They grew up on rock influences, both Italian and English, but eventually wrote a lot of their own songs (they are now in the process of completing their third album, since 2013).

Many of their songs are about their land and issues related to rural society, so in a way they are a natural soundtrack for some of the projects I work on (about land and issues in rural societies), plus, we live not far away, so I like to follow them when I can…in this case between two meetings.

If you are curious, last year I also produced a video during one of their rehearsal sessions, and you will find more about them here

The audio from one of the beatbox solos by Manuel S. was used in a palla 21 video.
