The Profile

Sardinian beat/cabaret group from Italy, remembered for Sardinian-language beat, a brief but notable run, and the cult album La Messa Dei Giovani. The Salis brothers later formed Salis e Salis/Salis. Tracks like Gambale Twist and Filo Di Seta are locally cherished; the album Messa Per I Giovani was reissued on CD in 2005 by Duck Record.

Described as a Sardinian Beat Cabaret group; recorded La Messa Dei Giovani; associated with island-favorite Gambale Twist and nostalgic Filo Di Seta; Messa Per I Giovani reissued on CD in 2005 by Duck Record; Salis brothers later formed Salis e Salis/Salis.

I Barritas are framed as a Sardinian beat/cabaret group tackling local-language covers and island themes. The review finds Sardegna Mia uneven, noting Morricone’s shadow over Gennargentu and praising the island-favorite Gambale Twist and nostalgic Filo Di Seta. It recalls the group’s brief run and the cult status of La Messa Dei Giovani, after which the Salis brothers departed for Salis e Salis/Salis. The review also mentions a 2005 CD reissue by Duck Record.
