Italian Treasury: Sicily collects field recordings of Sicilian folk songs captured by
Alan Lomax and Diego Carpitella. Lullabies, dance music, work songs, murder ballads, and love songs hailing from Palermo, Enna, Catania, and Caltanissetta are among the diverse styles included here. Recorded in 1954,
Italian Treasure: Sicily presents one of the last authentic portraits of Sicily's musical traditions. ~ Heather Phares
