Badge and Talkalot

Badge and Talkalot is Gilberto Caleffi, eclectic producer of funk, soul, r&b, hip hop tunes. The name comes from a Robert De Niro’s sentence in The Untouchables movie by Brian De Palma (“You're nothing but a lot of talk and a badge!”).

The new album "Fragments Of The Soul" is about life, inner feelings and the outside world, social situation and racism exposed, hurt and loss. Events you can't control that can shatter your soul. Then the need to overcome bad things, move on and evolve. Pick up the pieces and put them together again.

Moving from the totally vintage sound of the previous album, Gilberto reintroduces samples and electronics, funky guitars, piano and a broader range of featuring artists:
Georgia Anne Muldrow, Lisa Kekaula, Kevin Mark Trail, Rahel, Neco Redd & Amp Fiddler, Pugs Atomz & Psalm One, Ian Whitelaw and Adam Topol.

“Giving Up Your Ghost” is a previously unreleased song written by Ben Harper.
