'When people hear the name of Milan in northern Italy they normally think of fashion or football, but the city and surrounding area are also home to a thriving folk music scene, with many bands playing for dances and concerts. Currently one of the most successful is FEREBANDAPERTA, better known as FBA.

FBA was formed in 1993 by guitarist and songwriter Maurizio Feregalli and has recorded four albums since 1997; the repertoire is based on European folk & celtic dances, together with many songs whose lyrics are written in Italian dialects and other languages (French, ancient Spanish...).

The band has toured France and England, has played in all the main Italian festivals sharing the stage with "folk monsters" such as Dervish (Ireland), Skolvan (Brittany), Capercaille (Scotland) and Berroguetto (Galicia) and has been awarded "best Italian folk band" for the year 2002 during the Milan's "Samonios - Celtic New Year’s Day".'


'...Fleadh, nuovo album della FBA, che orienta il proprio focus verso le riletture della musica conviviale e "da festa", tipica della tradizione celtica come di quella italiana. E così, se gli standard "Scarborough Fair" e "Don Alfonso" vengono reinterpretati in un'inedita chiave moderna ed anti-tradizionale... la resa in lombardo dell'inno alla libertà "Eirigh Suas A Stoirin", ribattezzato "Dessedàss Liber", regala un momento di grande fascinazione epica...'
Rockerilla - Ottobre 2002

'...FBA est un groupe italien de huit musiciens qui nous livre ici son quatrième disque. Ambiance de fete effectivement. Celtico-italien pourrait-on dire avec des jigs, des reels lents, une jolie mazurka langoureuse, une parodie de tango, une douce chanson traditionnelle en dialecte milanais... et une délicate composition « Farewell to Achill Island »...'
