Lou Monte - Tombolee Tombola Rosina

Review by Zulfa Az-Zakiyah

Lou Monte's album, Tombolee Tombola Rosina, is a delightful collection of Italian-American songs that are sure to transport listeners to a different time and place. Monte's smooth, crooning voice is the perfect vessel for these classic tunes, which range from upbeat dance numbers to romantic ballads. The instrumentation is simple but effective, with accordion, guitar, and percussion providing a lively backdrop to Monte's vocals. Standout tracks include "Pepino the Italian Mouse," a charming tale of a mischievous rodent, and "Che La Luna," a romantic serenade that is sure to make listeners swoon. Tombolee Tombola Rosina is a must-listen for anyone who loves traditional Italian music or classic crooners like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.
