Cóndor Jet's 2nd studio album 'Sin Lugar'






03 Tenemos Una Tierra

 The premise for Guano Padano’s Americana is like very few others, it is inspired by an underground and anti-fascist literary movement that happened in Italy between 1930-1940, where Italian intellectuals started to translate American literature in a regime where open displays of affection for any foreign culture was strictly forbidden. Much like these literary-rebels Guano Padano have fallen in love with classic American culture, but have gone in a totally different direction with their translations. 

   Guano Padano musically interpret the words and verses of great authors such as Hemingway, Cesare Pavese, Steinbeck, John Fante, Sherwood Anderson and many more. Below is a track-by-track breakdown of the literature which inspired each song, as well as some insight into the album's guest appearances which notably includes Joey Burns (Calexico), Mark Orton and words by Dan Fante (son of author John Fante)

   The music on this extraordinary album blends the timeless melodies of Morricone's westerns and the pulsating surf-punk rhythms of John Zorn, the heartbreaking Tex Mex atmospheres Calexico's ballads, and the free jazz experimentation and the psychedelia of Sixties. Americana is not an album like any other, it is a musical trip that starts from the mists of the Italian province, then wanders drunk through the agitations of Balkan Europe and crosses the ocean with a wide-brimmed hat and it lands in America. The America of Vittorini, Pavese, Nanda Pivano and the America of lonely hearts sung by Hank Williams.

Perfume - DISPLAY (Shoegaze Ver.)

Lyrics:

Faces seem lost,
Memories last long.
Summer is gone,
Remember my song.

¿Dónde estás?
¿Dónde y porque?
Yo ya me fui,
¿Quieres venir?

Beating, Beating, feel that dizzy feeling.
Spirit, Spirit, catch me if im leaving.
Beating, beating, i don´t wanna go home….home

Home.
