Can anyone name this Italian band?

I accidentally posted this in the wrong position, so apologies if you’ve read it before.

A friend of mine had a tape copied of a friend of hers of a fabulous Italian world musicy band. But this friend didn’t write the name on the tape. Basic description:

-at least most of it is sung in Italian
-world music influence with some African sounding stuff and some reggae stylings as well
-one of the really best songs features the naming of a number of left wing/human rights political figures like Karl Marx, Che Guevara, Martin Luther King and numerous Italian names that I can’t remember

  • the only other thing that my friend knew is that she thinks one of the female singers is actually Finnish

Can anyone name them, I’d love to get a copy of the album.

Thanks.

I actually asked here if I could bump this and it seems one more go is okay.

So, anyone?

It sounds like you’re talking about Spaccanapoli. The group grew out of E Zezi, also well worth checking out. The latter had one album released in the US several years ago, Pummarola Black.

Well, I don’t have sound on this computer, so I can’t check, but it seems a highly likely match, doesn’t it? It sounds like an album I would love even on the off chance that it’s a different band. Thank you very much!
