Dingwalls 2015 Mix

Gilles has put together a vinyl selection of tracks from across the spectrum of roots culture for your listening pleasure.


Fruits and Culture Vol 1

LP (Laura Pergolizzi) Forever For Now (VW 59)

3.32.39 is the 4th track in preview of Plume, my album on vinyl, that will be released October 16th.
The title is the exact hour in which, on April 6th 2009, an earthquake occured in L'Aquila, destroying  part of the city and changing its very soul forever.
The track is meant to be an homage to the victims memory and, at the same time, a hymn to life for whom has survived and found the strength to react.
