Festa Italiana: Songs and Dances

There are two kinds of folk music in Italy. One is purely local in character, the other is national. The music presented on this recording belongs to the second category, the dances and songs popular throughout the Italian peninsula. Some were born on the soil of Italy. A few were brought from other European countries. Regardless of their origins, they are truly Italian now.  5.5"l. x 5"h.; 12 tracks
