The album comprises Italian-American instrumentals from the early part of the 20th century when Italians migrated in large numbers to the U.S. They called their trip overseas a traversata. In addition to traditional Italian folk music, the album includes versions of "Pickin' the Guitar" by Nick Lucas and "April Kisses" by Eddie Lang.[1]

Personnel

gollark: I just find it very slow to work in, both due to arbitrary preference things, the lack of convenient magicacious things, and also the 250 dependencies for a nontrivial async project make compiles literally very slow.
gollark: Er, warp and tide are decent.
gollark: Rust has some actually.
gollark: I did so retroactively.
