- 1988 Italian Issue on IRA Records
This album "LITFIBA - Desaparecido" is the first full-length studio album from Italian rock band Litfiba, though the band had previously released five EPs or singles. It is the first part of the "Trilogy of power". The music is much British new-wave influenced, though the lyrics are in Italian. Desaparecido is mostly a hard rock album influenced by new wave.
Forget your polished pop and saccharine ballads, kids. This ain't no stroll through the Tuscan countryside. Litfiba's "Desaparecido," the 1988 Italian reissue on IRA Records, is a sonic earthquake that'll leave you reeling. It's raw, visceral, and as unsettling as a midnight alley in Florence.
"Eroi nel Vento": An Anthem for the Disillusioned
This ain't just a song, it's a manifesto. Piero Pelù's voice tears through the speakers like a gale force wind, howling about lost youth and the search for meaning in a world gone mad. It's the kind of anthem that'll make you wanna raise your fist in defiance, even if you don't understand a word of Italian.
Piero Pelù: The Shaman of Italian Rock
Forget your pretty boy frontmen. Pelù is a force of nature, a shaman channeling the raw energy of the disenfranchised. His vocals on "Desaparecido" are a primal scream, a cathartic release of pent-up frustration and angst. He's not just singing, he's exorcising demons.
A Sonic Landscape of Darkness and Despair
This ain't no sunny afternoon drive with the top down. "Desaparecido" is a descent into a sonic landscape of darkness and despair. The guitars slash and burn, the bass rumbles like distant thunder, and the drums pound like a heartbeat on the edge of oblivion. It's the soundtrack to a generation's disillusionment, a sonic reflection of a world on the brink.
Beyond the Music: A Cultural Touchstone
"Desaparecido" isn't just an album, it's a cultural touchstone. It captures the zeitgeist of a generation grappling with political unrest, social change, and the search for identity in a rapidly changing world. It's a testament to the power of rock 'n' roll to give voice to the voiceless, to challenge the status quo, and to inspire a generation to rise up and demand more.
So, if you're tired of the same old, same old, if you're looking for something that'll shake you to your core, then grab a copy of Litfiba's "Desaparecido" and prepare to be blown away. This ain't just music, it's a sonic revolution.

Litfiba, Italy's rock titans, are a force of nature. From 'Desaparecido's raw post-punk to 'El Diablo's gothic grandeur, they've carved a unique path. '17 Re' saw them conquer France with a sonic blitzkrieg. Piero Pelù's vocals and Ghigo Renzulli's guitar fuel their sound: punk energy, hard rock power, and dark lyricism. These albums capture a generation's spirit and a band's restless energy.

"Desaparecido" is a sonic kaleidoscope, a heady mix of post-punk aggression, darkwave atmospherics, and psychedelic flourishes. It's a far cry from the polished pop that dominated the Italian charts at the time. This album is raw, visceral, and unapologetically loud. Pelù's vocals are a force of nature
