Arpioni is an eclectic Italian ska band with a rich musical journey that began in the late 1980s in Bergamo, Italy. Their music is characterized by a blend of traditional ska rhythms with elements of reggae, punk, jazz, and other world music influences, which results in a sound that is both highly energetic and melodically engaging. The band's lineup has seen various changes over the years, but the core of their sound remains rooted in the vibrant brass section and the dynamic interaction between the instruments and vocals.

Throughout their career, Arpioni has become known for their socially conscious lyrics and their ability to infuse their music with a powerful message while maintaining an upbeat and danceable vibe. They have built a strong following in Italy and across Europe, performing at festivals, clubs, and various live venues. Their more recent releases, such as "E la vita la vita," maintain the band's signature blend of genres and showcase their ability to reinterpret other works with a distinct ska twist, as can be heard in their rendition of "Should I Stay or Should I Go (Ska Version)." Arpioni continues to be a torchbearer for the Italian ska scene, captivating audiences with their infectious rhythms, sharp brass hooks, and the band's undeniable joy of making music that brings people together.
