| Tenores 'San Gavino' de Oniferi
| 
| | [Tracklist] [Review] E prite tottu custu
Dunya fy8118 10 tracks 53 minutes £12.00
'I absolutely adore the Oniferi style, their cohesion, their true passion for singing. I love Francesco, that crazy shepherd who has in his mind millions of verses and who is able to change them or improvise 'out of the blue'. I love their pure and uncontaminated style. I don't know if this is the best cantu a tenores album of all time, but I'm really happy, enthusiastic and proud to have released it. For me, it's their very best. It's a gem, and very very few can come close to it.' - Beppe Greppi, Felmay Records.
