Aktuala- album La terra 1974

"La terra" the second album by Italian prog group Aktuala encounters the band at their best, mixing together Western musical tradition with African and Asian instrumentation and rhythms, cultures and avant-garde forms. The music is immersive, fierce, and visionary, all assembled in an ethnic riot. As usual the band didn't play in theaters or in the ususal concert circuits, choosing to play in different contests, like restaurants, pubblic squares, streets, beaches, as well as in psychiatric hospitals.
