Le Orme wrote several song about the so-called Flower Power era and this one, taken from "Verità Nascoste", was also a successful single in the Italian charts. Mixing gypsy habits, Hippy Nation and a vague social engagement, this very original song is about a girl who decided to quit her wealthy family to join a nomadic group.
That said, the main interest of "Regina al Troubadour" dwells in its music and in its strange musical architecture. The delicate sung line aternates with a series of instrumental interludes representing many faces of the '70s music scene: prog, pop, folk, funky, classical revival, space... they're all there, like in a colourful exhibition. And the Troubadours' Queen still smiles with her robes and her rings, the icon of an era.
