Gridalo Forte Records
Gridalo Forte Records is an independent Italian label founded in 1991 by the band Banda Bassotti. The name comes from an earlier project of the Bassotti Band: Gridalo Forte not to Fascism! No to Racism! (in Spanish: "shout loudly, not fascism, not racism"), which consisted of a documentation center against racial discrimination and against fascism.
The first album released was Balla e difendi, a compilation with several groups from Rome, including Banda Bassotti itself, Filo Da Torcere, Red House and AK 47.
During the 90's, some works of the label were distributed by the label Esan Ozenki Records, founded by Negu Gorriak, with whom they maintained a friendly relationship. Also, some of the albums edited by Esan Ozenki (and his heir Metak) in Europe were distributed by Gridalo Forte.
They also had relationships with labels such as Liquidator Records, which distributed and co-edited some Gridalo Forte albums. Notes and
