Having the distinction of releasing three albums under three different names but without changing their personnel, this quartet from Sicily includes the brothers Agostino and Antonio Marangolo (drums and keyboards, respectively), their cousin Carlo Pennisi on guitar, and Elio Volpini on bass and sax. Based in Rome, they played under the name FLEA ON THE HONEY and then FLEA, having released two good albums ("Flea on the Honey" in 1971 and "Topi o Uomini" in 1972) in the hard progressive rock vein. Following the release of "Topi o Uomini," bassist Elio Volpini left the band to join his keyboard-playing brother Enzi in L'UOVO DI COLOMBO. He was replaced in FLEA briefly by Fabio Pignatelli, who later left to join CHERRY FIVE and GOBLIN. FLEA then broke up for a short time.
In 1975 the original four members reunited and changed their name to ETNA. Their only eponymous album represents a major shift in musical style to Jazz Rock. The style emphasizes melodic jazz rock, similar to NOVA and IL BARICENTRO, as opposed to the lightning fast style of some of the Fusion bands of the day.
The group then broke up for the last time. Elio Volpini played with many musicians on stage and in the studio. Agostino Marangolo joined GOBLIN and was later involved in NEW PERIGEO and later in the new version of NAPOLI CENTRALE. Antonio Marangalo had a successful career as a session musician and released a solo album "Duo" in 1987. Carlo Pennisi played briefly in LIBRA, MEDITERRANEO, GOBLIN, and NEW PERIGEO. The Marangolo brothers and cousin Carlo Pennisi played together again on Agostino's 2001 solo album "Day By Day," which is supposed to be similar to WEATHER REPORT in style.

Etna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eu posso imaginar
Como tudo vai ser
Como vai acabar
E sei que nada vai mudar
Eu sei o tempo passa e eu tenho que esperar
E vejo que no fim não é voce quem vai voltar
Por isso eu não vou
Continuar sabendo que
Nada do que eu fiiz
Pra voce tem mais valor
E então,
Um dia tentar encontrar
Respostas que a vida
Nunca pôde me mostrar
E nem eu mesmo
Consigo explicar
Não sei por que eu esperei
Tanto tempo assim
E eu nao pude ver
Que realmente
Então era você
Eu sei o tempo passa e eu tenho que esperar
E vejo que no fim não é voce quem vai voltar
Por isso eu não vou
Continuar sabendo que
Nada do que eu fiiz
Pra voce tem mais valor
E então,
Um dia tentar encontrar
Respostas que a vida
Nunca pôde me mostrar
Tenho que esperar
Tenho que esperar
Respostas de alguém que talvez nunca vai voltar
The lyrics of Etna's song "Respostas" talk about the singer's realization that nothing will ever change, and that they have to wait for time to pass. They have come to the understanding that the person they were hoping would come back will not return. Despite this, they cannot continue knowing that everything they did for that person no longer holds value. The lyrics express their desire to one day find answers that life has never been able to show them. The second verse emphasizes the singer's confusion and inability to explain why they waited for so long, only to realize that it was actually the person they were waiting for. The repeated lines of "I have to wait" highlight their ongoing need to wait for answers from someone who may never return.
