It’s a powerful twenty-year history of Northern Italy revival folk, seen and experienced through the adventures of one of the most beloved bands ever on the stage: a real “journal” that was recorded in July 2003 during the 20th edition of Folkermesse. This CD, which marks the ultimate dissolution of the band, encloses a tasty digital booklet containing photographs, protagonists, news, and curiosities about the legendary group. The royalties on the sales are destined to Médecins sans Frontières.
