Rating: Cult band of the '80s, the Turinese "Franti" are an example of how one can make great music by rejecting any market rules and fostering a small myth destined to become a reference point in the Italian alternative scene.
The Franti are a project of poetry, music, and political struggle, a dissenting, anarchist group, never inclined to compromise. The self-produced "Luna nera" (from 1983) defies any scheme by presenting an open jazz structure that embraces rock and folk, a punk soul, and a hardcore spirit.
The record is a true underground masterpiece where the intense voice of Lalli and the sax of Stefano Giaccone stand out, who will continue to create solo albums and other interesting projects.
Of the same level is the subsequent work of Franti ("Il giardino delle quindici pietre") but it is with "Luna nera" that they mark their passage in Italian music (unfortunately only alternative).
