about

“Pampasciune” (a kind of hyacinth/onion) tells the story of Blind Boy De Vita’s father in an affectionate, fun way. Back in the 1970s, he set off to travel the world of his own free will – a first for his family, which had lived modestly on the Salento peninsula in southern Italy for the past 400 years and only left the country for work. His travels represented a break with family tradition and describe the career of a self-made man who achieved great things despite a simple background and few resources. The essence of the track: with persistence and hard work, but also a touch of naivety, ambitions as well as dreams can become reality. The song features a striking chordal bass line and, for the first time, the use of a classical drum kit, which creates a driving groove. This is accompanied by slide guitar drones, psychedelic licks and of course Blind Boy De Vita’s almost shamanic bass-baritone voice.

lyrics

Pampasciune
Pampasciune
 
Sciamunde sciamu per l’asia
Nu canusci nenzi mal che sia
Timi l’avventure?
Fanne bonu au core!
 
Vanne vanne figliu meu
Ma dhu babbu nu cunta mai cusi
Nun de pozzu propriu chiui
Iddhu ulia me tene solo acquài
 
Suntu nu, sarò pur, suntu lu .. Pampasciune
Pampasciune
 
Zicca o zuccu ieu u pane addhai
Sta moru de fame cuddhi thai
Ringraziamu il cieeeelo
Risu pollu meeeeeeloooo, magnu tutti iurni
 
Vanne vanne figliu meu
Ma du babbu nu cunta mai cusi
Cunta cunta ao peppe che
Orgoglioso nde moscia e foto hawai
Umili radici ca 400 anni nu se mo-
Vene, ca nun duole
Fiorirà, al di la, perché é
Pampasciune
