Trallalero

Trallalero is a traditional multipart vocal music genre from Genoa, Italy. It is characterized by its distinctive polyphonic structure, often performed by male choirs. This unique vocal style combines a tenor voice (called the "primo") leading the melody, supported by baritones, basses, and falsettos that create a rich harmonic tapestry. The singers often employ intricate vocal techniques, harmonizing in a way that mimics instrumental sounds, with rhythm and pitch playing crucial roles. The genre is deeply rooted in the working-class culture of Genoa, often performed at gatherings and celebrations. Groups like Genova Quarto and La Voltrese, among others, continue to preserve and celebrate this vibrant vocal tradition.
