Tour Scotland Video A Pacchianeddra Sansustisa Gruppofolk Falkland Fife

Tour Scotland video of A Pacchianeddra Sansustisa Gruppofolk from Italy on visit to Falkland village in Fife, Scotland. The cultural association I Cantori del Pettoruto aims to preserve the local traditions from the San Sosti, San Salvatore area in Calabria through the research of songs, music, poetry, dance and handmade musical instruments. It encompasses the folkloristic group A Pacchianeddra Sansustisa, which displays the local costumes, song and dance in choreographed performances, and organises cultural events with the schools and communities of the local area. The group consists of about 40 members: 14 dancing couples, two singers and 10 musicians. They play musical instruments linked to the Calabrian tradition including accordion, bagpipes, tambourine, and guitar. In the performances the group evokes through dance and song the most significant moments of the 12 months of the year and the religious activities of the rural sansostese territory
