Eschandihà de vita - Stories of characters from the Occitan Valleys of Piedmont (Northern Italy) is the new CD by Silvio PERON, who wrote the lyrics and composed the music, and has enlisted the help of 17 musicians and singers (such as Patrick Vaillant, Manu Theron, Stefano Valla, J. M. Carlotti, a.o.)from different backgrounds, some of which have also taken care of the arrangements of this production. With this CD Silvio PERON not confirms to be one of the best melodeon palyers of the Occitan Valleys but also an original and creative composer.

Each song has atmosphere, timbre and very different arrangements. From the point of view of the text, each character speaks in the first person and in the variant of Occitan language of their country of origin, with the aim, among other things, to highlight the musicality of the various facets of the Occitan language.
Don Viale, from Limone Piemonte, (from Nuto Revelli’s Il prete giusto), the sounadoura (female player) of Tech from the village of Dronero, the giants Ugo from Vinadio and Notou Sounadour from Robilante are some of the characters that inspired the author for the singularity of their life, experiences and anecdotes.
Everything started thirty years ago by an experience lived by the composer as a music animator during a stay at sea with the elders of the Val Stura. On this occasion he made friends with two of them, and Jacou and Petou of Roccasparvera and discovers that the second, nearly eighty years old, had never seen the sea and had a hard time believing that it was salty. Twenty years later, the author is on a beach and suddenly resurfaces almost faded the memory of a particular: Petou that runs groping towards the sea, taste the water and turns with disgust. And so suddenly comes the chorus of what will become Petou and lou sea ...
Hence the idea to create a series of songs on the various characters of the Occitan Valleys.
