Il Gran Teatro Amaro ‎– Port Famine (1991, CD, Netherlands)

The avant art-folk outfit IL GRAN TEATRO AMARO formed in 1990 by italian and dutch musicians. After a few concerts in continental Europe they attracted the attention of Swiss label RecRec and finally they released in 1991 their first album "Port Famine". Diverse influences are detected in their music: italian and french song traditions, Jacques Brel, poetic-theatrical atmosphere and some experimentation create a very interesting "european" sound.
