Art/Literary - Music | | Italian term or phrase: l'Europa meticcia | from the album notes for the latest album by Radiodervish (may be a help in understanding the use of the term, as the group brings together a Palestinian and an Apulian musician).
It can be a derogatory term, but here it clearly is not...
"Il disco contiene canzoni che parlano innanzitutto d’amore e di vita, costruite su melodie di presa immediata e arrangiamenti che guardano indietro liberamente, ricomponendo una memoria personale e generazionale che si nutre dei ritmi regolari della disco music anni Settanta e del Battiato pop dei primi anni Ottanta, dell’onda araba del raï e delle tastierine giocattolo dell’elettronica povera, come dei nuovi ritmi sintetici *dell’Europa meticcia* che hanno cominciato a prendere forma nell’Inghilterra degli anni Novanta." |
