Battisti. Lucio - Anima Latina (1974)

The seventh album from this artist from Italy.

Lucio Battisti did the guitars, keyboards, piano and vocals here.

He had help from numerous guests who provided drums, percussion, bass, guitars, woodwinds, keyboards, piano and backing vocals.

Lucio Battisti was an artist in the singer/songwriter tradition who album debuted in 1969 and released altogether eighteen solo albums. He wrote songs for many other artists and bands. Bands like Hollies, Amen Corner, Formula 3, I Dik Dik and many other bands.

He was one of the most prolific artists in Italy before he sadly passed on in 1998.

His music was not particular progressive. It was more mainstream pop and rock. Italian pop and rock, that is.

Anima Latina is a meeting between his Italian background and the music from Brazil. It is indeed a meeting between those two nations.

The music is folk rock based Italian and Latin pop music.

The vocals is good and the music is flowery poppy. 

The result is a decent to good album. The good things is the many interesting details on this album.

This is an album well worth checking out.

2.5 points
