Canzoniere Del Lazio

More than 40 years after its publication, the album Lassa sta 'la me creatura continues to be systematically cited in the stories of Italian music related to the' 70s as a completely unique and innovative event in the music scene of those years. A remarkable Italian folk/ethnic album with experimental tendencies, released in 1974 on the legendary Intingo label, Canzoniere Del Lazio was one of the most important Italian folk groups of the '70s, remembered mostly for the research of the first folk heritage of region Lazio, then Italian and then Mediterranean.

The path of the band and its members crosses several times with some of the most socially active characters in the panorama of the so-called folk revival, including Mauro Pagani and Demetrio Stratos.
The members of Canzoniere del Lazio, early promoters of the folk music revival promoted by the "New Italian Canzoniere," turned their aim on a new and different language: music sensitive to jazz, contemporary composition and experimentalism, marking a transition toward transcultural musical writing that will characterize the production of the Canzoniere del Lazio in the years to come.
