Castellina Pasi is a revered ensemble in the sphere of Italian folk music, particularly known for their contribution to the liscio genre, which is a traditional style akin to ballroom dance music in Italy. The group was founded by Franco Pasi in the late 1970s, in Castellina in Chianti, Tuscany, hence the derivation of their name. Over the years, they have become synonymous with the nostalgic and spirited tunes that characterize the dance halls and festive gatherings of Italy.

Their music is characterized by the use of accordion, alongside other traditional instruments, contributing to the buoyant and infectious rhythms that invite their audience to dance. Reflecting a prolific recording career, Castellina Pasi's recent releases like "Baraonda" and "Per sempre amici della notte" continue to uphold their legacy, presenting a lively repertoire that mixes new compositions with time-honored classics. The ensemble has a strong connection with their audience, often releasing collections like "Auguri Maestro Castellina (20 successi live)" which showcase their live performances and the intimate interaction they maintain with fans. With albums like "Canzone per ogni età, Vol. 49" and "Ti aspetterò, Vol. 48," Castellina Pasi has created an extensive discography that not only appeals to long-time aficionados of the genre but also works to introduce the delights of liscio to newer generations.
