Dino Murolo

Dino Murolo is a Calabrian folk singer deeply rooted in the traditions of his region. His music celebrates the stories, dialects, and rhythms of Calabria, often focusing on themes of love, prison life ("carciru"), and the complexities of the Calabrian underworld ("malavita"). He's known for his passionate vocals and the use of traditional instruments, bringing a vibrant energy to classic folk songs and "stornelli" (short, often improvised folk poems). Several of his albums highlight the religious and cultural significance of the Madonna di Polsi pilgrimage, a testament to his dedication to preserving Calabrian heritage.

Murolo frequently collaborates with other Calabrian musicians, as seen in releases like "Attenti a noi due!!!" and "I magnifici 3 del folk calabrese." He embraces both the celebratory and melancholic aspects of Calabrian folk music, offering listeners a rich and authentic experience of the region's musical landscape. From lively pizzica tunes to heartfelt ballads, Murolo's music is a vibrant expression of Calabrian identity.
