Babelfolk Trio

BABELFOLK TRIO
balfolk from Torino

Pierpaolo Berta: diatonic accordion
Luca Rampinini: soprano saxophone, flute
Rocco di Bisceglie: guitar

A Balfolk trio founded in Torino in Summer 2014. Three musicians with different origins decide to join their forces in a polyhedric project to spread out their own contemporary balfolk sound.
Traditional music from Piemonte, the French repertoire, original compositions and some “intrusions” of World Music sounds. These are the ingredients of their “babelic” repertoire: a blend of different atmospheres and musical languages with an open mind to experimentations.
