Catalonia! What makes your big heads so big?
A rare one on the Kubaney label Manuel Caballero’s “Gigantes y Cabezudos” Many Spanish festivals include costumed figures known as gigantes y cabezudos, roughly, “Giants and Big-Heads” . The main feature of these figures is typically their papier mache heads; bodies are covered in clothing matching the costume’s theme. These figures are particularly common in festivals of Basque Country or Catalonia, where many cities and towns have their own figures. FREAKY great cover.

Who knows what evil lurks?
Italian EP by Franco Trincale on Fonola Records (1972) I just found this on YouTube. Crazy. What is he singing about? I’m afraid to know.
