Modo di Bere: Drinks & Dialect

S1E4 Dialect is a Luxury: Peppe Voltarelli Sings in Calabrese


Listen Later

Peppe Voltarelli is a songwriter and actor who travels all around the world singing in Calabrese, the Calabrian dialect. He and Rose Thomas taste a wine from the Cirò DOC. They discuss moving from Cirò to Bologna, and from Nebraska to NYC. They swap sayings, and both Peppe and Rose Thomas perform live songs! Peppe demonstrates how the tarantella rhythm changes from region to region all over the south of Italy, and shows how the spiky—spigoloso—Calabrian dialect is perfect for expressing that you are not joking around. Don't miss this delicious episode.
