Orani quartet - Aiò si no la dadescusta rosa (1961): "Big Boy!"

Here is a rare recording that was superlatively hidden in the hard-to-find Italian Folklore archive. These recordings are very very rare, and aren't findable on any buyable CD's, which sucks. This is why I'm trying to reach a much wider audience and to bridge the Italian to English-speaking gap with very unique and cool music which is often overlooked and wrongly kept secret. This is a recording of a Sardinian throat-singing quartet from Orani, Nuoro, Sardinia, recorded on May 6, 1961. Unfortunately, none of the recordings' titles or descriptions whatsoever ever mention names, only places and whether it's a trio, quartet, etc. So, unfortunately we only know the voice parts. Most throat-singing groups consist of a shepherd voice that sings the words, a goat-voice, a sheep and a cow, representative of different animals being taken care of by a shepherd - as Sardinia has a very strong pastoral connection. An interesting detail are the background noises, including distant speech and some hooting and hollering. Also at the end of each phrase, the cow, sheep and goat, particularly the sheep, sound almost like they're saying, "Big boy!" at the end.
