Tapetto Volante
Tappeto Volante ("Flying Carpet") is the third and final album by Italian world music pioneers Aktuala. It was released on Bla Bla records in 1976. It is the second recording of percussionist Trilok Gurtu
Profile
It is a mixture of live and studio recordings, mostly recorded in Morocco after a year spent traveling and playing there. The resulting recordings were then interspersed with studio recordings featuring electronic enhancements.[1] This latter studio compositional style point to Walter Maioli's next project, Futuro Antico in which such mixtures dominated. There are shorter tracks than on the previous recordings but they have segues making a collage effect.
