Tazenda

Tazenda is a Sardinian ethnic pop-rock band. The group was formed in Sardinia in 1988 by Andrea Parodi, Gigi Camedda and Gino Marielli. The group's music is characterized by the influence from traditional Sardinian music; the lyrics of most of their songs are in Sardinian language, especially in its Logudorese variety. The name of the band was taken from Second Foundation, a novel of the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov. In the novel the planet "Tazenda" (the name of which comes from the English expression "Star's End") plays an important role. The choice, according to Tazenda, of this name was because of an assonance with their own language. 1988 - Tazenda 1991 - Murales 1992 - Limba 1995 - Fortza paris 1998 - Sardinia 2005 - ¡¡¡Bum-ba!!! 2007 - Vida 2008 - Madre Terra 2012 - Ottantotto 2021 – Antìstasis 1997 - Il sole di Tazenda 1993 - Il popolo rock 2001 - Bios – Live in Ziqqurat 2006 - Reunion 2009 - Il nostro canto - Live in Sardinia 2011 - Desvelos tour 2015 - Il respiro live 1988 – "A sa zente/S'urtima luche" 1990 – "Carrasecare" 1991 – "Spunta la Luna dal monte (Disamparados)" (feat.
