Since Tazenda last CD (Raccolta) on SixSteps records back in 2000, I have felt a massive void in my life. Since completing 2000’s ‘A Ninnora A Ninnora’, Tazenda fulfilled their contract with SixSteps records and where under no obligation to release another album. This album has some very good songs like A Ninnora A Ninnora and A sa zente. One of Tazenda’s best albums yet.
makes a person feel perfect.
Tazenda allows each song to breathe and flourish. |titile| is a sure sign of something most of us are experiencing, maturity. Astrolicamus I just LOVE this mix! Ave Maria (Sa festa) is one of the more up-tempo songs on Raccolta. Bon Nadale - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. Tazenda must have run out of lyrics on the next track Deus ti salvet Maria. After you’ve listened to Disamparados, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Etta abba chelu. Fortza paris one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. Frore In Su Nie is a bit of a show-tune. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. Tazenda is one of artists that allow his songs like In sas nues tuas to stand on their own and be heard. Simply the finest work ever from this multi-talented singer. Mamoiada (live) is a good listen every once in a while. This track is just fantastic from start to finish. In Naneddu the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. Ninna Nanna Fizu ‘E Deu the elegant and beautiful song on the album is hard to describe. The beautiful sound of this track makes you want to close your eyes and sway away with the music. The song feels complete. No Tazenda song has come close to capturing my attention as Pizinnos in sa gherra did. Preghiera semplice is possibly the best song Tazenda has come up. Procurade de moderare presents the astounding mix of instruments on Raccolta. S’ispera Manna - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. Sa mama ‘e su sole is a nice, innocuous song, and much better than anything Tazenda released so far. I find myself hearing bits of Sardinia here and there throughout my waking hours. Soledade has a fun tempo. Music of Spunta la luna dal monte is gentle, never overbearing. Su ‘Entu Nostru - This is a very lively song. Su dillu est goi is perfect. Lyrics of Un alenu e sole are precise and evocative. One listen to the sheer beauty of Uno duos tres was all I needed. Vai is worth the money.
