Silvana Licursi
'Far from the Land of Eagles:
Music of Albanians in Exile'
(LYRCD7413)
'Silvana Licursi is an Arbėresh (Italo-Albanian) singer from the town Portocannone (Purtkanuni) in Campobasso province.'
'Silvana Licursi creates beautiful, haunting, ethereal songs that sound medieval
and classical rather than traditional - they are a tribute to the Albanian
community which has existed in Italy for over 500 years. The photo of Silvana
... looking into the distance, as if experiencing a vision, while holding an
Albanian styled lute, carved with a double headed eagle ... is highly symbolic
of her nostalgic expressive voice ... as well as the contents of the CD....'
Erika Borsos
(see full review below)
'Albanian-Italian vocalist
Silvana Licursi was born in Molise, one of the many
villages founded in Southern Italy five centuries ago by Albanians fleeing their
homeland before the Turkish-Ottoman invasion. To this day, these communities have
successfully maintained the language and customs of their forefathers.
In this
recording,
Silvana Licursi brings us a unique collection of songs whose genesis is the
living voice of her people - Albanians in exile. Licursi's magnificent, haunting
vocal style combined with exceptional instrumental arrangements make listening to
this CD an unforgettably moving experience.'
Heart-felt folk music from Albania.
