Italians or Italian songs get roughly half of today's offering. The featured song, Zingara, is one of my favourites. Of course, it barely penetrated anglosphere consciousness at all. But there's plenty of offerings here from Spain Portugal and France. Not surprising, given its 'latin' feel and theme. The Irish folk selection will be much more familiar to anglophones, consisting as it mostly does, of pub song classics. 1976 provides a good dollop of late-era soul.
