Sensasciou come from Genoa and their music is a blend of
"Trallallero", the choral chant of Genoese port-workers, and raggamuffin, reggae
and trance sounds. Furthermore, "Generazione con la X" sees the band
experimenting with new rhythms and moving towards a more acid jazz / drum & bass
sound, but still using the Genoese dialect and maintaining an ethnic feel.
I am the one you don't know.......you've just heard biased voices about me.......who I
am.......what I do.......have you ever been.......my travelling companion.......on the
road without a break.......without an answer.......have you ever worn out your soles
moving around like me.......to get to the place where you wait for the sun.......and
instead it's been raining for 30 years.......don't you see I'm looking for a safe, dry
shelter.......the edge of a bed can save my skin.......what's there to laugh about if I am
a stray.......I've been shipwrecked in the years polluted by wealth.......floating on the
wreckage of my conscience.......I ask impatiently for a miracle.......to drive out for
ever the curse.......which has already marked.......my generation with an X.....
Words from the moving title track of this new double album which confirms the
extraordinary vitality of the leader of Sensasciou Bob Quadrelli, who manages to mix
experimental and traditional sounds with surprising strength and simplicity. This CD paves
the way for the music of the new millennium.
