Le Vija – La Cadrega Fiorïa

Some of the best musicians of Piedmontese traditional music play together in Le Vijà: it was the Regional Administration of Piedmont who commissioned the creation of this band from EthnoSuoni and FolkClub. The group joins experienced musicians and young, clever ones. The repertoire gives an example of the various kinds, styles, cultures and languages of a Region rich in musical traditions.
