Banadisa

Inhumana Canicola Padana is a phrase from "Racconti ritrovati del Po" by ethnographer Roberto Roda and that Banadisa chooses as the title of his second album. An expression that figuratively summarizes the sense of suffering, of fatigue, of something that oppresses and inexorable burdens on body and spirit: a transversal theme that crosses many tracks of the album and connotes its essence. The protagonist and background of every story is the landscape of Polesine, land of the lower Veneto riding the river Po, of which Banadisa is native. A flat territory, boundless, metaphysical, almost suspended in time. Stories come to life through this landscape, which from a simple frame becomes a fundamental narrative element. Inhuman Canicola Padana travels on layers of minimal electronics with beat, texture, field recordings, SP404 sampler at the service of an expressive, scratched and sharp song, incessant percussion, calabash blows, floor tom and dun dun. Not a language but more languages, hypnotic, biological and digital bass that meet. Rhythmically slowed down dem bow appear, hidden to look for an invisible thread with a Caribbean sea becoming lagoon, with percussion shattering like brackish streams of a delta made in tentacles. Listen to the album "Inhumana Canicola Padana" Preceded by the singles "Inhumana Canicola Padana", "Amòr!" and "Mattina Riluce", "... That abandoned goes badly" is the focus track of the album. Banadisa presents it as follows: "The song tells the confused moment in which it is realized that the heart and body do not know -and can not- anymore stay here, near the person they used to be. To the pressing question 'and now?' follows a nervous reply 'now I don't know! give me a moment! Now I think about it!' in a growing anguish, which more puts before the fact, the more paralyzes the body and the mind, who do not know how to act, who block themselves and abandon themselves to fall 'in pain'".
