Duo di Morcote

Biography

The Duo di Morcote was founded in 1991 to play traditional music principally from Ticino, the southern side of Switzerland and also to play
classical music written for two mandolins (or for mandolin and mandola).
Both collaborate with other bands.
Ambassadors of Tessin music for more than twenty-five years, Stefano Fedele and Giordano Morettini play tracks from the most antique traditions from the riverbanks of Ceresio, specially from the collection of Isidoro "Dorin" Frigerio.
Their repertoire includes also more recent folk music from all over the canton, from nearby Italy and from other countries.
The music played and sung by the Duo di Morcote is mostly learned by ear, as the musical notation of old traditional songs is scarce.
