Trio Ciocaia

Ciocaia, so nicknamed for the “shots” his fingers made on the instrument, was one of the last great Emilian piva players of the Parma Apennines.
The Ciocaia trio, in homage to that peasant tradition, takes up this name to reconnect with the extraordinary musical culture of the Apennines and, in particular, with the Emilian piva, an instrument that belongs to the large bagpipe family.
The repertoire crosses both the songs and dances of popular culture, combining them with fragments of the classical music of ‘600, a time in which, presumably, the musical heritage of authentic popular culture was consolidated.
