About Me
The group comes from Pioltello, a city in the neighbours of Milan and it was formed in 1999.
Our basic idea has always been to play music into the streets bringing rhythm and entertainment.
In these years we have performed in several situations: from the streets to the theatres, to concerts, and now television, in Italy and abroad (Greece, Turkey, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Switzerland).
Our main search is aimed to the study and the proposal of traditional music, Italian and foreigner, in a modern way.
Next to this, we propose our songs, written by the whole group, that merge our musical experience (jazz, rock, traditional and world music).
More than 300 concerts, bringing fun and dance everywhere, proposing the best of our repertoire in an enthusiastic and unforgettable way.
Two albums published by Ethnoworld (Mi):
- Voli di ditteri, merging several influences.
- El va'l Bir..cc, in collaboration with TV shows Festa in Piazza (Antenna 3) and Tuttaunaltramusica (Telelombardia).
The whole CD is dedicated to traditional music of our region, Lombardy but the old and popular songs have been rearranged in a very modern and particular way.
Giù il cappello is an open project, always ready to get and taste new experiences, cultures and traditions and always ready to propose them in a funny and enthusiastic way.
