Tenores di Bitti

The Tenores di Bitti are a traditional folk music group from Bitti, Sardinia who employ a polyphonic vocal style, often described as a type of overtone singing, whose oral tradition dates back to 3000 BC Liner notes, "S'amore 'e mama".] .

The Tenores di Bitti are considered one of the best and most traditional groups in Sardinia. They extemporize or perform poems with each singer taking one of four parts: "boke", "bassu", "contra", or "mea'oke". "Boke" is the soloist and provides melody, "bassu" is the root and provides the tonic, "contra" provides the fifth, and "mea'oke" provides the octave above the fifth, filling out an chord in just intonation. Piero Sanna and Daniele Cossellu alternate "boke" and "mesa 'oke" on different songs while on all songs Tancredi Tucconi and Mario Pira take "contra" and "bassu" respectively.

Their album "S'amore 'e mama" includes the ambient noises of the various recording locations in Bitti including churches, streets, canteens, bars, countryside, and "nuraghe".
