Arawak

Arawak is one of a multitude of pseudonyms that Luciano Simoncini used in his career as a composer for film scores and background music for radio and television in Italy. Luciano Simoncini was an italian pianist, arranger and conductor (born in Piedimonte Matese, province of Caserta, September 25th , 1939, died in Rome November 8th , 2011). Originally released in 1970 on Simoncinis own Squirrel records this album managed to stay under the radar until Hip Hop performer Quasimoto (alter ego of producer Madlib) sampled Accade a Harlem for the Suono libero series on 70s Jazz funk from Italian library music. Since then, the album gathered considerable interest hence calling for a proper reissue. Read more on Last.fm.
