A.k.a. Pola Chapelle
Pola Chapelle is known for her film work on Goodbye in the Mirror (1965) and Windflowers (1968) and was married to Adolfas Mekas. In the 60’s there was a growing interest in folk music from other countries. Prestige Records who had made its mark presenting some of the greats of the jazz world, decided to create a label dedicated to international folk music. Pola Chapelle was asked by Kenny Goldstein, a producer at Prestige International, to record an LP of folksongs that would be representative of all the provinces of Italy and in as many dialects. Rooted in her enthusiasm for the music and language of Italy, she accepted the opportunity to express in song some of the love she had for the people and the land.
