Calabrese Band
About Me:
***CALABRIA MIA BAND***
*** NEW LINE UP, NEW SHOW***
------------------------------ ---------------
Calabria, one of the wildest and least-traveled regions of Italy. Of all the peoples of the Mezzogiorno, Calabrians are the most independent and insular--traditionally cut off from the rest of the peninsula by steep mountains and a dialect that's nearly incomprehensible to Northerners.
Calabrian music has its own unique tradition and is rooted in songs about peasant life in the feudal system and all it entails--sung in Calabrese accompanied by Calabrian instruments.
It is music of the people, by the people, for the people, so to speak, and tells stories of both hope and hopelessness--common conflicting emotions for many Calabresi throughout the centuries.
Traditional Calabrian folk music has some common elements: high, strong vocals, a catchy, nearly hypnotic rhythm, and a bittersweet raw passion with any combination of tambourine, guitar, chitarra battente, accordion, zampogna (bagpipes), lira, mandolin, drums and more. The song rhythm you'll hear often is the tarantella, a traditional southern Italian folk dance that was performed by female victims of spider bites to rid themselves of the venom.
