Northern Italy traditional music<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Barab\u00e0n<\/em><\/strong>, one of the top bands on the Italian folk music scene, appreciated in Europe and America, has developed a path that revisits the musical tradition of northern Italy with a contemporary language and sensitivity. In 40 years of activity the group has held concerts in London, Montreal, Moscow, Brussels, Helsinky, Manchester, Nuremberg, Rome, Milan, Turin, Barcelona, Genoa, Bern, Oporto, Nancy, Z\u0171rich, Innsbruck, York, Beverly, Venice, Bridport, Montpellier, Groningen, Bologna, Montpellier, Liubersky, Klin and in hundreds of other large and small locations all over Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in Milan in 1982 by Vincenzo Caglioti, Aurelio Citelli, Giuliano Grasso and Guido Montaldo – among the most active Italian researchers and musicians – the ensemble mixes melodies, languages, rhythms and sounds of northern Italy, popular and contemporary instruments, polyphonies of the Po Valley, music related to Italian emigration to the Americas, contemporary lyrics, archaic songs from the Apennines, swing music and Yiddish flavor.
Careful collectors, Barab\u00e0n’s musicians have developed an original musical synthesis between traditional models and contemporary taste. The search for a balance between memory, languages and themes of the present continues. Always attentive to social and civil issues, more recently Barab\u00e0n has dedicated himself to the interpretation of songs composed by descendants of Italian immigrants in South America and to the creation of a new music by experimenting with the encounter between the lyrics of contemporary writers (Loi, Biamonti ) and their own compositions in which the styles and sounds of traditional music open to multiethnic contamination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barab\u00e0n’s name<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Derived from the Aramaic Bar ab<\/em><\/strong>\u0101<\/strong><\/em>, (son of the teacher), Barab\u00e0n is a term common to many languages of Indo-European origin. An onomatopoeic word (in Slavic countries it means drum), in northern Italy it takes on different meanings: Barabbas, old man, brat (barab\u00ecn<\/em>), subversive, rebellious, vagabond. Name of a famous popular melody of the sixteenth century (La Mantovana<\/em> or Aria di Mantova<\/em>) of probable Jewish origin, it has become very famous in Europe both in cultured music (from Barab\u00e0n derives the symphonic poem La Moldava<\/em> by Smetana which seems to have known the Swedish version entitled Ack, V\u00e4rmeland) and in the popular one, such as in the repertoire of the violinists of the Emilian Apennines and in Israel (Hatikvah<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
