La Perdita Generacio, composed of 9 members, 4 musicians and several assistants, are known throughout the Esperanto scene for their beautiful melodies, playful texts on serious topics and an atmosphere of tenderness, and this new CD continues and deepens the concept.

Sometimes sharp and ironic, sometimes polite, kind and thoughtful, LPG's sound evolves on the frontiers of music. It seems simple at first but after a deeper investigation, the multiple levels become evident, like no one has ever heard a hit tune with as many chords as "Amokanto" (Song of love)?

Some texts openly criticize modern society from an ecological point of view, but more often, the poems are very intimate and the radicalisme doesn't show from the surface. Phenomena such as "not normalas, nur kutimas" (not normal, but usual) seems one of their recurring themes.

La Perdita Generacio doesn't fall for propaganda, but leaves the listener choose between "Asroni on tegmento dum helreveno "(spending time talking while sipping some drink on the roof as daylight breaks) or continuously putting the "kapon en la sablo" (head in the sand).

Several of the 13 songs on this disc have a potential to become Esperanto hits and maybe even beyond. Gather some courage to sit near the "Fajro kamena" (chimney fire) and "kuŝiĝi sub fortepiano in Kiev" (sleep under a piano in Kiev) with La Perdita Generacio. You will certainly not be spared when they "Eksplodigos vian domon" (explode your house).

The core of the group, based in Härnösand, north of Sweden, is Tomas Q Nilsson (vocals, guitar, clarinet ...) Anna Burenius (vocals, guitar and piano) Karin Nordström (vocals, bass, percussion ...) Robin Rönnlund (Voice, accordion, flute, and more) And KarinMalin Ekström (vocals, melodeon, frog (?!?) ...)
