After posting, May 28, 2009, "Haermea "Riccardo Zappa, I'm back with" Chatka, "another album of this original Italian guitarist. The spring that prompted me to post it has been re-listening, about thirty years later, the opening track of the album, entitled "Emphasis". With his mind went back to 1979 (or was it 1980?), When Mario F., guitarist EFE, jazz-rock group with whom you fight at the time, made me listen to, precisely, a long-playing of a guitarist then unknown to me. It was the opening track to impress. When, about two months ago, I have heard in full "Chatka," I recognized the beautiful "pearl" is that noise "Emphasis".
As for the rest of the album is certainly enjoyable, although after listening to the wonderful first track you would expect much more. However, listen Chatka "costs nothing. And if you are fans of acoustic guitars ...

After posting Riccardo Zappa’s “Haermea” on May 28th 2009, I am posting today “Chatka”, another album by this original Italian guitarist. What induced me to post this album? Well, I happened to listen again, after approximately 30 years, to the album’s marvellous opening track “Emphasis”. I can still remember when, in 1979 (or 1980???), Mario F, the lead guitarist of E.F.E. (the rock-jazz band I was playing with at that time) made me listen to a LP by an Italian guitarist who was, at that time, a perfect stranger to me. I was positively impressed by the opening track - I casually happened to listen to “Chatka” again (in the CD release, of course) about two months ago and I once again was delighted when the tunes of the opening track filled my single apartment.
As far as the rest of the album is concerned, well it’s a nice listen, even though after you listen to the opener “Emphasis”, you would certainly expect much more. In any case, why not listen to this album? Especially if you are keen on acoustic guitars …
