26 TRACKS – LENGTH: 58:57

The complete soundtrack from the classic Bud Spencer movie “Piedone l’africano” as the corpulent, but goodheart commissioner Rizzo better known as Piedone.Third installment in the popular series made of four motion pictures: “Piedone lo sbirro” (1973), “Piedone ad Honk Kong”(1975), “Piedone l’africano (1978) and “Piedone d’Egitto” (1979). This Cd features the complete score by the De Angelis Bros available for the first time: infact, while an LP was issued from the first feature “Piedone lo sbirro”, from "Piedone l’africano" only a single saw the light of the day back in 1978 on Cinevox label (single MDF 118) with the tracks “Freedom” and “Diamonds”. Guido & Maurizio De Angelis have written a nice score based on the adventurous choral theme called “Freedom” sung by I Charango that we listen on track 1 (the film version) and on track 23 (the single version) often reprised in the score. Being the movie placed in Africa drum percussions and jungle effects are dominant elements through it; the Piedone Theme (the actual main titles) appears here on track 2 with a disco arrangment, but the score features various source music like a rock-boogie (tr.8) and

various disco numbers (tr.7 and 11). This disc also features as bonus tracks some alternate mix of the main themes.
