{"product_id":"banda-maje-costa-sud-vinyl","title":"Banda Maje - Costa Sud [Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFive years after their radiant debut UFO Bar, Italian cinematic funksters Banda Maje are back\u003cbr\u003e\r\nwith Costa Sud to take us deeper into their land of ‘Salifornia’—a Southern province of\u003cbr\u003e\r\nsun-drenched coastlines and decaying buildings where dreams of exotic escapism sprout and\u003cbr\u003e\r\nbloom.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nOnce again, behind the eight tracks in the album—and behind the wheel of the fiery red\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAlfasud on the cover—is composer and keyboardist Peppe Maiellano. He has meticulously\u003cbr\u003e\r\ntailored each piece to his virtuoso partners in crime: a 'family' of exuberant musicians spread\u003cbr\u003e\r\nbetween Salerno and Naples, all bound by deep-rooted ties to the region and a shared belief\u003cbr\u003e\r\nin the grit of independent artistry.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe Costa Sud (South Coast) imagined by Banda Maje is a shimmering ribbon of sun-baked\u003cbr\u003e\r\nasphalt stretched between the sea and the ancient pine forests of the Gulf of Salerno. It is a\u003cbr\u003e\r\nland of enchanting but wounded places, where the grace of Ancient Greek civilization sits in a\u003cbr\u003e\r\nrestless silence alongside the scars of rampant building and neglect. “But if truth is beauty and\u003cbr\u003e\r\nbeauty is truth,” Maiellano explains, inverting Keats’s famous line, “with the right eyes, you can\u003cbr\u003e\r\nfind beauty and poetry even under a layer of moral and material filth.\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\nConceived and recorded entirely in Southern Italy, the album nevertheless looks beyond the\u003cbr\u003e\r\nhorizon. While Neapolitan funk and golden-age Italian soundtracks remain the double helix of\u003cbr\u003e\r\nthe band's DNA, this album welcomes new influences from across the ocean, weaving Italy,\u003cbr\u003e\r\nBrazil, Africa, and contemporary sounds into its unique vision of the 'global South.'\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Four Flies Records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Jazz\/Soul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Banda Maje","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45841279189190,"sku":"M1YDRO-ZUZ5-00","price":32.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/8085\/0374\/files\/costa-sud_foNER.jpg?v=1778730572","url":"https:\/\/paladinvinyl.com\/es\/products\/banda-maje-costa-sud-vinyl","provider":"Paladin Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
