Tazenda is an Italianethnicpop-rock band. The group was formed in Sardinia in 1988 by Andrea Parodi, Gigi Camedda and Gino Marielli. The group's music is characterized by the influence upon it of traditional Sardinian music; the lyrics of most of its songs are in the Sardinian language rather than in Italian.
