Barcarola

The song *Barcarola* by Lucio Dalla immerses us in a particular atmosphere, evoking the feeling of a leisurely journey, like the gliding of a boat. Its duration of 3 minutes and 45 seconds invites us to get carried away by the melody and the narrative it proposes. This track is part of the album *Come è profondo il mare*, a work that marked a turning point in Dalla's career.

This album, released in 1977, was the first in which the Bologna-born artist took full authorship of his lyrics and compositions, marking the beginning of his singer-songwriter phase. It was recorded between the RCA studios in Rome, with Maurizio Montanesi as sound engineer, and the Stone Castle Studios in Carimate, where Ezio De Rosa was responsible for the engineering. The production was handled by Alessandro Colombini and Renzo Cremonini. Dalla's musicality, with roots in jazz, expanded throughout his career, exploring from beat to rhythmic experimentation and singer-songwriter music, always with a distinctive voice.
