Master orchestrator and musical director Checco Pallone: He began his musical and concert
activity at the young age of 13 as a percussionist, tambourine player in the “Calabrese Company
of Popular Song”, already engaged in the research of ethnic music for years. Since then he has
undertaken a particular and personal musical journey, deepening the study of percussion and
more specifically of frame drums, developing a completely personal and innovative language. At

manuche technique and to plucked instruments. Thanks to these peculiarities he obtains several
collaborations with nationally and internationally renowned musicians in different parts of the
world, making himself appreciated in different musical genres, from rock to jazz through ethnic
music. From the 90s onwards he has made numerous record and concert collaborations all over

Arabia, Romania, Albania, Cyprus and Morocco. He privately teaches the technique of frame
drums, as a teacher he participates in numerous stages throughout Italy and is a contract
