Festa Italiana: Italian Songs and Dances collects joyous, upbeat performances by the likes of Francesco Basile, Salvatore Ida, Aiello and His Orchestra, and Domenico D"Agata, among others. This isn"t traditional material, with many of the performers composing their own selections, but it certainly fits the spirit of what most American listeners would want from this sort of Italian collection. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
