The Sicily Folk Orchestra breathes new life into a track that made history. 33 years ago Kaballa debuted with "Petra Lavica" ("Lava Stone"), a revolutionary album that marked a turning point in Italian folk/rock music.

Available digitally from June 28, 2024, the new arrangement of "Fin'a Dumani" ("Until Tomorrow").

Thirty-three years ago, Kaballa debuted on the Italian music scene with "Petra Lavica" ("Lava Stone"), a revolutionary album that marked a historic turning point in Italian folk/rock music. Today, the Sicily Folk Orchestra celebrates this anniversary with a new and evocative arrangement of "Fin'a Dumani", one of the album's most beloved tracks, sung by Kaballa himself.

The Sicily Folk Orchestra's new arrangement pays tribute to this extraordinary work, bringing back to light the energy and passion that characterized the original, with the hope that it may serve as an anthem for the musical change championed by Comusì, Coesione Musicale Siciliana (Sicilian Musical Cohesion).

Revisiting "Fin'a Dumani" was like traveling back in time. Sicily is a land of a thousand contradictions, of beauty and decay, of splendor and ruinous collapse; "Fin'a Dumani" is a cry: of anger, of passion, of disillusion, of hope, of pain and of love. It is a collective anthem to the pride, the solitude, and the uniqueness of every Sicilian.

The Sicily Folk Orchestra project demonstrates that Sicilian folk music is more alive than ever, capable of reinventing itself and reaching new generations. Their interpretation of "Fin'a Dumani" is not just a tribute but a testament to the strength and originality of Kaballa's music, who remains, as always, an extraordinarily relevant and unique artist in the Italian world music scene.
