PRESS RELEASE (12\/26\/2014)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Sunday, Dec. 28, Loano <\/strong>the first of two events of the third edition of \u201cWinter Tales.\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The initiative, promoted by the\u2019Department of Tourism, Culture and Sports <\/strong>and organized by the\u2019Society of the Curious Association <\/strong>with the collaboration of the\u2019Bala Association on the shore of u ma<\/strong>, is included as part of the events for the 10th anniversary of theCity of Loano National Award for Italian Traditional Music.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The twinning with Occitania<\/strong> which will be represented in a large traveling festival, at the 16.00<\/strong>, by the musicians of the Occitan valleys: the musicians Dario & Manuel<\/strong> (accordion; Clarinet and bass ukulele) from Val Vermenagna will play Courenta and Balet, Jean Paul Faraut Tamburinaire<\/strong> Proven\u00e7al will play Galoubet and Taburino, students from the school directed by Sergio Berardo will bring to life two ensembles, The Organ and The Gables<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

From 17.00<\/strong> in Italy Square<\/strong> Sergio Berardo<\/strong>, multifaceted leader of Lou Dalfin<\/strong>, the group that more than any other in recent years has taken the folk music of the Cuneo valleys around the peninsula and Europe, and a leading exponent of Occitan culture, will present La Quim\u00e8ra<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sergio Berardo<\/strong> has gathered around him six musicians, including five members of the Lou Dalfin family, to offer the show La Quim\u00e8ra<\/strong>, in honor of one of the most important novels ever written in the Occitan language, La Quim\u00e8ra <\/em>By Joan Bodon. Berardo <\/strong>has always been, since his beginnings, a serious and passionate scholar of the heritage of the small mountain communities of Piedmont with an Occitan linguistic minority, whose hurdy-gurdy repertoire he has come to reconstruct with great intellectual effort. The result is a 360-degree journey that succeeds in reviving with extreme naturalness the traditional sounds and songs in the Oc language that have resonated in those valleys since time immemorial and are in every way an expression of an authentic folk musicality that has not been stifled by the impositions of the contemporary world. In La Quim\u00e8ra <\/em>not only traditional melodies are present; on the contrary, these are blended with pieces of creation never abandoned by the author and pieces already proposed with Lou Dalfin in a dancing party amid echoes of uncorked bottles and singing. Not to forget a leap into the joke, into the more festive and less consumerist dimension of the convivial moment.<\/p>\n

They play with Sergio Berardo <\/strong>(hurdy gurdy, diatonic accordion, bagpipes, flutes, guitar and vocals) the musicians Chiara Cesano<\/strong> (violin), Enrica Bruna<\/strong> (flute, fifres, hurdy-gurdy and voice), Riccardo Serra<\/strong> (percussion), Henry Gosmar<\/strong> (guitar), Charles Revello<\/strong> (low), Roberto Avena<\/strong> (chromatic accordion).<\/p>\n

The review \u201cWinter Tales.\u201d<\/strong> will continue the January 2<\/strong>, in the Civic Library<\/strong>, where at the 21.15 <\/strong>will take placethe presentation-concert of the album \u201cCrescendo\u201d by the Duo Bottasso<\/strong>. In the first album by the two young brothers who grew up together in music, the origins, linked to Occitan dance music, gradually flow into new composition and improvisation. Dance music is repositioned in the present, confronting and being inspired by electronics, suggestions from contemporary music and with world influences linked to the Mediterranean, Brazilian and Scandinavian music.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
