Crêuza de mä

Crêuza de mä, released in 1984, is an album by Fabrizio De André sung largely in the Genoese dialect and steeped in Mediterranean sonorities. In collaboration with Mauro Pagani, De André mixes folk, rock and world music elements, using traditional instruments and sparse, atmospheric arrangements to evoke seafaring life, ports and migratory routes. The record emphasizes mood, regional language and rhythmic textures over conventional pop song forms, and is often regarded as a distinctive, experimental entry in his catalog.
