"GRAN GALA" is a concept-album about 10 years of "Berlusconism" told by the metaphor of taroc cards: every taroc is asociated to a song that describes a characteristic episode which happened during these 10 years.... Two years after their Patchanka-success "LA CRETINA COMMEDIA" the folk punkers from Maghera return with 15 new songs, a high tempered mix of Streetpunk & Skatecore, Balkan & Klezmer, Ska and even traditional Italian Folk, straight in your face, and this time even faster and more energetic tour de force ranging from hi-speed heart attack to traditional acoustic arrangements, crowned by great hooklines and sing-a-long chorusses. The band in their own words: "Even if Berlusconi is not any longer the Italian president, he is still present in this country, which is and will be still suffering from the footmarks and the mentality he left. Welcome to the Gran Galà! It´s out most diverse record. 15 tracks that range from punk to folk, ska, ballads and instrumental songs combined with combat lyrics and a touch of ironic satire." Patchanka-Skapunk-Balkanbeat... 150% dance-music, cause "nobody can stay calm and sit still as long as Talco´s music is playing". The group from Maghera / Northern Italy gained a lot of popularity with their furious mixture of Punkrock, Offbeat and eastern european Harmonies, growing from campus-radio insiders playlists to an all-european live-sensation during the last years, fascinating thousands of open air visitors with their very own interpretation of "World-Punk", uniting worldmusic, street-punk, italian folk traditions and the speed of hardcore with tightness, variety and high momentum.
