Roberto Balocco - Le Canssôn Dla Piola Volume UNO

Review by Frank Musarra

Le Canssôn Dla Piola Volume UNO by Roberto Balocco is a delightful album that takes listeners on a journey through the rich musical heritage of Piedmont, Italy. From the opening track, listeners are transported to a world of traditional folk music, with Balocco's expressive vocals and skilled accordion playing at the forefront.

The album is a celebration of the piola, a traditional Piedmontese tavern where locals gather to eat, drink, and sing. Balocco captures the spirit of these gatherings with his lively and engaging performances, which are accompanied by a variety of traditional instruments including guitar, mandolin, and violin.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "La Piola," a cheerful and upbeat song that perfectly captures the joyful atmosphere of the piola. Balocco's voice is warm and inviting, and his accordion playing is masterful. Another standout track is "La Bella Gigogin," a playful and flirtatious song that showcases Balocco's ability to tell a story through his music.
