L’Alba – A Parulluccia (Ma Case Prod, 2018)
“A Parulluccia” is a beautiful, passionate, and finely-crafted album that showcases the music of L’Alba, a contemporary Corsican music band.
The sound on “A Parulluccia” is rooted in exquisite Corsican polyphony enhanced by acoustic guitars, mandolin, electric and acoustic bass, and the impeccable accordion of Madagascan musician Régis Gizavo who sadly passed away after recording the album.
