Litfiba 3


Litfiba 3 is the third studio album by the Italian rock band Litfiba. It ends the "Trilogy of power" started with the first album Desaparecido. It is the last album on which new wave influences can be heard.
Lyrics deal much with social and political criticism. "Louisiana" is about death sentence, through the story of Willie Jasper Darden, a citizen who was sentenced even though it existed strong doubts about his guilt. "Santiago" is about Pope [John Paul II]'s visit to Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. "Tex" is about the genocide of Native Americans in [the United States|Native Americans], with its title referencing popular Italian comic book series Tex: the song features western sounds, as it happens on other Litfiba songs. "Paname" is a song about the protests against war in France, with lyrics in Italian and French referencing the Paris Carnival. The song "Cuore di vetro" has been described as "the first Italian grunge song".
