Liguria, it’s language, dance tunes, melodies and sounds are the core of the suggestive music repertoire proposed by Liguriani. The band proposes dance music from Liguria often associated with other tunes coming from close cultural areas: mazurkas, sbrandi and monferrine from Liguria and Piedmont tie up effortlessy with French waltzs and scottishes. The song repertoire has a strong emphasis on Ligurian dialect: traditional and popular songs are arranged by the band with creativity and flair. A quintet that, with the groove of an irish music band and with quotations from manouche and bal musette, alternates old songs to fresh melodies, both traditional and composed by its members, wich also feature in the bands Filippo Gambetta Quartetto, Birkin Tree and Almalibre.
The band collaborates with the actor Mauro Pirovano, with whom has created four thematic pieces of musical theatre:
Fischia il Vento, Invexendo di Natale, Vari(e)azioni Paganiniane and
La Guerra del bersagliere Giromino. The band toured Northern Italy extensively.
