Since 1959 he has been part of the group I Menestrelli del Jazz and in 1963 he joined Bruno De Filippi's group. Appreciated as a sideman, he was for several years pianist and organist in the group that accompanied the Italian singer Mina.
He has also spent much of his career as a composer of film soundtracks and published several albums through our label, among which we must remember the soundtrack of "Codice d'amore orientale", released by SAAR/Joker in 1974, which will soon be re-released on vinyl as a limited edition by our label.
The Soul Of "Ali" Ben Djamballa (Alberto Baldan's 1974 album) is a highly sought after LP by record collectors around the world. Following the creation of the Afro-flavored funk of this period, represented by Fela Kuti (Nigeria) and Osibisa (Ghana), the album features European Library Music grooves, including "Blue Jeans", "Black Coffee", "Take Six" and "Niger". The record contains a number of solid breaks, noteworthy sampling material and a good dose of rare and funky grooves.

Fifteen tracks were selected with a total duration of approximately 37:35. Maestro Baldan Bembo created an electronic soundtrack introduced by the opening credits theme (A1) with the intervention of diabolical female voices. The atmosphere of terror is represented by suspended synthesized sounds (A2, A3), sometimes more aggressive with piano and percussion (A4, A8, B3) and by macabre themes with female voices (A6, B6). This OST also contains more tonal moments, with a danceable flavor (A5, A7, B1, B2, B5) that break the tension of the story. A record that wants to pay homage to the musical art of Alberto Baldan Bembo and genre Cinema with many fans around the world.
"Nuda per Satana" is a horror film directed in 1974 by Luigi Batzella, screenplay by Luigi Batzella, photography by Antonio Maccoppi, editing by Luigi Batzella, music by Alberto Baldan Bembo, starring Rita Calderoni, James Harris, Renato Lupi, Iolanda Mascitti, Barbara Lay, Luigi Antonio Guerra, Augusto Boscardini, Alfredo Pasti, Stelio Candelli, CRC production, General distribution. The protagonist Rita Calderoni said in an interview that the director Luigi Batzella had chosen her for the film after having seen her in the film "Riti, magie nere e segrete orge nel Trecento" by Renato Polselli. From a database it appears that filming of "Nude for Satan" began on March 25, 1974 and was carried out at the Monte San Giovanni Campano Castle in Frosinone, Lazio, lasting approximately five weeks. The car crash sequence took the director an entire night of filming. "Nuda per Satana" was released in Italy on 23 October 1974.
