Piero Marras

Italian singer-songwriter from Nuoro, Sardinia. Fuori Campo (1978) marked the start of his solo career; his work blends Italian and Sardinian traditions and themes of emigration.

Born 1949 in Nuoro, Sardinia. Fuori Campo first released in 1978 and reissued in 1997 with two unreleased tracks (Notte Lituana; Si Deus Cheret).

The available review focuses on Piero Marras's album Fuori Campo (first released 1978, reissued 1997). It highlights Sardinian cultural themes, emigrant attachment to language (Limba), and Marras's evocative, ironic songwriting. Musical textures and balladry are repeatedly praised.

For:Fans of Italian folk, Sardinian culture, and singer-songwriter music.
