Spring Has Sprung: Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino and "Rirollalla"

Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino, a band from southern Italy, brings us today's random tune called Rirollalla. Formed in 1975, Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino is a seven piece band that specializes in contemporary interpretations of pizzica music, a traditional style in southern Italy. They have recorded 19 albums and have worked with musicians such as Ballaké Sissoko, Ibrahim Maalouf, Piers Faccini, Stewart Copeland and composer Ludovico Einaudi. Rirollalla can be found on their 2015 album Quaranta, which is a live-to-tape album made during their 40th anniversary year. The song is in dialect but seems to be celebrating the arrival of spring.
