Artist Profiles: Ambrogio Sparagna

Ambrogio Sparagna
Ambrogio Sparagna is one of the most important musicians in contemporary Italian folk music. His musical project, which explores the Southern of Italy and the Mediterranean musical tradition, involves his compositions and ballads.

A wide range of both traditional and original songs showcase the melodic inspiration and harmonic richness of Ambrogio Sparagna’s accordion, as well as the acrobatic rhythm force and passion of the tambourines, ciaramella (traditional oboe), and the guitar of his musical friends.

Ambrogio drives his audience to jump, playing with the Arts Comedy, and with the Neapolitan Theatre masks.

He has recorded several albums with l’Orchestra Popolare Italiana.
