It’s a podcast dedicated to Italian music. We’ll talk about our adventures in the Italian music scene, covering everything from a great band that was playing in Terlizzi to our favorite pizzica group (Italian folk music) to movie theme songs blaring over the Italian radio.

- Why the old town was perfect for the concert
- Why you wont find a night like this in big Italian tourist cities like Rome

Paul and his big loaf
Part of the concert we held at the villa (sorry for the bad lighting).
Doesn’t do them justice, but here’s I Murgensis
Some Pizzica. Again, doesn’t do this group justice.
We love us some Mina. Is this what turned Paul gay??
