LA RECENSIONE

The ZPM were a fundamental group for understanding the right-wing alternative music. Music that was born and grew up within the ranks of the then Youth Front, a youth organization close to the now-defunct MSI - DN.

The ZPM (an acronym encompassing the initials of Zeno, Paolo, and Mauro) hailed from Verona and offered a sound with a clear singer-songwriter influence that owed much to more famous names such as Lucio Battisti, Edoardo Bennato, and Fabrizio De André. Formed in 1977, after self-releasing some cassettes and producing a few singles, unfortunately not included in this collection, ZPM disbanded in 1994.

Politics certainly plays a part... but there is also room for love songs, existential reflections, and other inspirations that only a genre like singer-songwriter music can offer.

"Boia Chi Molla", besides being the title of this collection, is perhaps the most beautiful song written by ZPM. A melancholic and romantic text that, nonetheless, urges not to give up and to fight against an unfair society.

Beautiful, very beautiful also are "Io Credo" and "Me Ne Vado" (the recitative style recalls certain solutions adopted by Faber), while slightly below, but absolutely appreciable, are "Canzone", the touching "Primavera '68", and "Jean". I wouldn't want to forget "Lo Straccivendolo", filled with '70s keyboards, "Sergio Ramelli", and "Isabella".

To remind that there were young people fighting against the system, without necessarily loving Marx or Marcuse.
