Folk Fusion from the Mountains: 'Montanari' by The Trouble Notes | Live in Les Vosges [Fiddle Tune]
🎻✨ Welcome to the heart of Les Vosges with The Trouble Notes' "Montanari" ✨🎻
In this video, we bring you a melody woven from the threads of simplicity and joy, performed in the breathtaking landscapes of Les Vosges, France. "Montanari" is an homage to the values that define mountain life — the deep bonds of friendship, the pleasures of good food, and the warmth of family, far removed from the clamor of material pursuits.
🏞️ About the Tune:
"Montanari" is not just a melody; it's a celebration of culture, friendship, and the unspoiled beauty of nature, composed during a magical week-long residency in Berceto, nestled in the heart of Italy's Apennine Mountains. Invited by a local cultural association, we immersed ourselves in the rich tapestry of the region's folk traditions, guided by the incredible knowledge of local maestro, Mauro—an encyclopedia of folk wisdom.
Crafted with the warmth of acoustic instruments, this tune encapsulates the soul of the Apennines, reflecting the profound values of the people we met: the importance of community, the richness of shared meals, and the timeless bonds of family. Our collaboration with gifted local musicians Giacomo, Elisa, and Francesco not only enriched our sound but deepened our connection to this enchanting region.
"Montanari" stands as a heartfelt tribute to the simplicity and purity of mountain life, and to the people of Berceto who embody these virtues. It's a piece that resonates with anyone who finds beauty in life's fundamental joys and the serene landscapes that evoke them.

Very nice! I like this idea with the drum!
Did you shoot it on camera or the phone? With stabilizer or without?
Another great tune. Can you guys get to Hivefest in Split in September? I think you would enjoy meeting more of the Hive community and there could be performance opportunities.
