Hi

In 2002 I played mandolin and mandola on a North Italy folk music CD.
The record is "Fabrizio Poggi - Turututela" (Felmay - www.felmay.it).
It's a collection of songs, mostly traditional, from Lombardia (a north-italian region): work songs, love songs, there is a couple of murder songs.
The sound is not so traditional (drums and keyboards were added), but the melodies and the lyrics are true.
You can find more at http://www.turututela.com (there is a presentation in english) and the lyrics at http://www.turututela.com/testicd.txt
