Story & Background
"Indiani Padani", the second album by Rats, released in 1992 by CGD, is a title that, since its release, has generated extensive discussions and not a few misunderstandings, especially in an Italy where the "Padanian" identity was taking on increasingly marked political connotations. While Umberto Bossi's Lega Nord conveyed a secessionist and parochial image of "Padania", Rats, originally from the Reggio Emilia province, understood the term in a very different way. For them, "Indiani Padani" was a metaphor for an existential and cultural condition, that of those who inhabit a "middle ground" between the north and the centre, between modernity and tradition, feeling "indiano" in the sense of being native, proud of their roots but at the same time an external observer, almost a free spirit in a rapidly transforming landscape. Not a political affiliation, therefore, but an affirmation of an authentic and independent identity, making the album a manifesto of a profound Italian rock deeply rooted in the territory.
