Si può fare

Si può fare represents a pivotal moment in Angelo Branduardi's discography, marking a shift from the strictly 'minstrel' persona of the 1970s and 80s toward a more modern, accessible folk-pop sensibility. While his trademark violin and penchant for storytelling remain central, the arrangements on this 1992 release incorporate more prominent soft-rock elements and a polished studio sheen characteristic of early 90s EMI productions. The album focuses heavily on themes of travel, change, and the passage of time, moving away from specific historical mythology toward a more universal, philosophical lyricism. Critically, it is seen as one of his most cohesive 'modern' works, balancing his classical training with a rhythmic drive that appeals to a broader pop-rock audience. The title track became a staple of his live sets, embodying the album's optimistic yet grounded spirit. It stands as a testament to his ability to evolve without losing the 'art-folk' soul that defines his career.
