Celtitaly

The Cobblerstones Pub will host our special evening. Music and dances from South of Italy and from Ireland will be performed.Researching from the traditional folk repertoire of both countries Celtitaly has selected an interesting list of traditional songs and dances

4th June 2015

The audience will be involved in a multicultural exchange with the possibility to experience through dance movements and music listening the cultural heritage of South of Italy (Campania region and Puglia region) and Ireland.We hope to shake everybody’s hearts with the deep sound of the Italian tamburines. We are inviting all of you to experience the contrast between the earthy and intense dances from the South of Italy (pizzica and Tammurriata) and the Irish Ceili Dances that will bring us flying up to the air.

Our programme will show how accurately we will alternate Italian tunes and dances and Irish tunes and dances to create a friendly and joyful atmosphere:
