Paranaperde in concert

On Saturday, April 5 at 9:00 PM in Villar Focchiardo, at the multipurpose hall in Via Cappella delle Vigne 3, there will be a concert of traditional music curated by the Paranaperde, featuring Gabriele Ferrero.

The Parenaperde propose traditional music from the Upper Dora Valley: “we aim for something that is traditional music in the simplest sense, the one it originates from.” The group was formed in 2004 from a meeting of friends driven by the allure of making people dance even in the Upper Susa Valley, initially to the sounds of a small organ, clarinet, and guitar. The enthusiasm for presenting live popular music from alpine traditions, shared with a group of dancer friends, led to the realization of this project, bringing back sounds of bygone times to our valleys. The musical repertoire selected draws from the music and dances of the Upper Susa Valley and the entire Occitan area, with particular attention to the French transalpine valleys, which are so rich in traditional listening and dance culture, such as waltzes, mazurkas…
