It stands apart from mainstream grunge acts, highlighting a unique fusion of punk and alternative influences. This classic album offers an authentic snapshot of a vibrant era in music history. Listen to Beat Happening's Jamboree now and explore a raw, unforgettable slice of Seattle's indie rock history!

 Like the previous albums, it is very direct with songs that are easy to sing along to.

 A wonderful album to listen to while traveling.

Calypso by Francesco De Gregori closely follows his previous album Pezzi with a similarly direct and melodic style. The album is less electric but offers easy-to-sing-along songs. Standout tracks include "La linea della vita" and "Mayday." Overall, it's a lovely album suited for travel, though it lacks major innovation. Listen to Calypsos by Francesco De Gregori and enjoy a beautifully crafted journey of melodic and heartfelt songs.
