Trovajoli, Armando
Riusciranno I... (black)
full title: Riusciranno I Nostri Ero A Ritrovare L' Amico Misteriosamente Scomparso In Africa ? Finally the first official vinyl reissue of the original Trovajoli soundtrack. Originally dated 1968 this is possibly one of the greatest Italian cult "road" movie of all times ! Composed by Maestro Armando Trovajoli and featuring Alessandro Alessandroni Cantori Moderni, this is a glorious mix of visionary epic sounds for a thrilling trip through exotic Africa. The plot of this film was in fact located in Angola, then a Portuguese colony. So, by poetic license, the music is heavily influenced by Brazilian rhythms. One of the highlights of the record surely is "Angola Adeus" with Cantori Moderni and mysterious drums added. A piece of music which conjure the sense of adventure and wide spaces.
