Pepe Maina ~ Italy


Il Canto Dell'Arpa E Del Flauto (1977)

Another one of those albums sitting in my collection that I had no memory of. I also had Pepe Maina miscategorized as progressive rock, as does the Japanese reissue label. Maina plays a type of instrumental World Fusion with electronic elements. I would submit his debut is a combination of Jade Warrior, Mike Oldfield, and the instrumental parts of Harmonium. A very fine work that can pass you by if not paying close attention, which is apparently exactly what has happened to me these past years.

Ownership: 1993 MMG (CD). Acquired in 1996.

1996; 7/10/22 (review / new entry)
