Extract

Attilio Cannargiu1 was born 50 years ago in Muravera, in the province of Cagliari in Sardinia. He tilled the soil for a brief period of his life and would doubtless have become a farmer like his father had he not been seized by an overriding passion for the launeddas.2 This love of the launeddas and music—words which for Cannargiu mean one and the same—raised a number of problems. His marriage to music, ‘his music’, has not run smoothly. But, all things being considered, the conflicts it created must be regarded as a reflection of the difficulties besetting one among many musicians in a land where folk customs are still very much alive.3
