Title: A melancholic farewell to Augusto
Review: This live collection contains most of the Nomadi's hits. The band was centered on Augusto Daolio, whose voice does not sound affected here by his fateful disease. Many are the unforgettable tracks on this album, and as usual "Auschwitz" (Song of the child in the wind), Francesco Guccini's tribute to the victims of the Holocaust, "Primavera di Praga", dedicated to Jan Palach, and Io Vagabondo (Me, the Wanderer) are a touch of great music with lyrics piercing straight into the heart. "Suoni" (Sounds) is perhaps the most remarkable of all. Augusto's most impressive "la-la-la", obviously accessible to those not familiar with Italian, sounds like a legacy a few months before his death, suspended between his serene acceptance of fate and a melancholic farewell. This album is a jewel, but I would get it just for that song.
