Strada dell'Assietta - spectacular road, superb soundtrack

[Foghat]

Anyone able to identify the performer of the soundtrack to this video of a splendid (and now must-do) very long high-level gravel road in the Italian Alps? I should know who it is, but don't........

Anyway, I now need to work out how and when to tackle this beauty, and which bike to use.



Here it is on a proper bike:

It's Balaams Ass and Iste papatui cdxxx.

Can't find a video of it but found the song on Amazon digital

I put it through shazam and it says A Little Piano by DJ Mitsu and the Beats which it's not, so I retried and now it doesn't know at all. Great software.

Happy to help.

We found it via Shazam after 2-3 goes but it was a different version.

A bit of hunting on Amazon found it eventually.

Thanks both!

Top sleuthing there, @Hill Wimp. Following it up, the versions seem very different though - the only similarity being the drumbeat. Did you find the actual same version as the Assietta video?

It's proving strangely hard to track down. As it sounds so good, I thought plenty of people would just know who/what it is!!

It's near Colle Delle Finestre which other riders do on race or cross bikes with four spare tubes.

Interesting though. Legally you may be prevented from doing it at all but a narrow time of year I don't know.

That was as close to it as I could get. I assume the band did several mixes of it.

It's certainly made me want to investigate them further.
