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:

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
Possibly because this year they were the first to start: on Saturday, Sep. 10, our friends from “Il Gallo” in Tirli invited all to another palla eh!/palla a 21 meet-up.
The result was some twenty players (age ranging from 10 to over 70), an afternoon of games, and a nice snack at the end:
Thanks to Tirli and Il Gallo!
