History

Angelo Branduardi built his music on the sound of early Europe: melodies and forms taken from medieval, Renaissance and early Baroque music, played on violin, guitar and instruments such as lute, dulcimer and pan flute alongside a modern band. He was born near Milan, grew up in Genoa and trained as a classical violinist at the conservatory there, which is why the violin carries so many of his songs. Many of his lyrics were written by his wife, Luisa Zappa, and they tend toward fables, riddles and old legends rather than personal confession. His breakthrough came with the album Alla fiera dell'est (1976), whose title song adapts Chad Gadya, an Aramaic cumulative song sung at the Passover Seder, into a chain of verses that keeps growing. La pulce d'acqua (1977) and Cogli la prima mela (1979) continued in the same spirit, and he found an audience not only in Italy but also in France, Germany, the Netherlands and Greece. What marks his records is a bright, slightly nasal tenor, dancing violin lines and songs that sound like old tales retold.
