#ProgressiveRock #ProgressiveFolk
50 years ago #Osanna from #Naples, released their 3rd studio album, then distributed in 1973, considered the highest point in the band's discography.
One of the earliest concept albums in #Italy, along with the works of 👉 Banco and
👉 Balletto of the same year.
2 suites about Parthenope, the old city (= "Palepoli" in ancient Greek) of Naples, described as a mythological community, opposed to the new Neapolis, symbol of individualism and consumerist society.
In Palepoli Rock and Jazz perfectly mix with Neapolitan Folk sounds.
From minute 9:00 of the suite "Oro Caldo" Heavy⚡️Metal appears for the first time in Italy!
