Music from Italy / Sardegna – Tenore Silanus

P.S. i forgot to mention that Xandi is currently on a bicycle tour around Sardinia , hope he gets back well and has a lot of fun meanwhile :-)

Everybody knows the tomato feast or the lemon feast , but as spectacular as the running of the bulls in Pamplona is the “Ardia de Sedila ” in Sardinia . Let me try to explain it:  every year they choose one person , to hold a stick ; this horseman , starts to ride a course and the other horsemen try to follow him to get this stick – the course leads through the whole town to the church . During the race a lot of people shoot with their rifles in the air .

and here are the Tenores Silanu with a typical sardinian polyphonic song
