Most Important Songs

PIETT TUNN - "Piett Tunn" was a typical work song. It is a slow and rhythmic tune that reflected and accompanied the laborious process of harvesting the fields. The song expresses the serenity and joy of workers engaged in this long and difficult task.

C' VULIMM AMA' - "C'vulimm ama'" was part of a genre known as songs of spite. These songs generally were duets in which a husband and wife sing of each other's physical defects and character faults and reconcile in the end.


CICIRINELLA - "Cicirinella" was the Molisan version of a well-known Neapolitan song. With its lively rhythm, the song demonstrates the proximity of the two cultures, which goes beyond mere geography.
