The project “Organetto a cUkù” was born from the fusion of two instruments that belong to the folk traditions of two very distant regions: the Organetto, which is present in the folk traditions of Italy and Europe, and the Ukulele, the quintessential Hawaiian instrument, which has become very popular worldwide in recent years.

The group offers an original Balfolk repertoire featuring dances such as Circassian circles, scottish, mazurkas, bourrées, rondeaux, waltzes… The musicians themselves teach these dances both during their concerts and through preparatory workshops. Of course, their repertoire also includes traditional dances from the Marche region, starting with the most famous one: the Saltarello.

The two musicians, Federico Cippitelli (on the Organetto) and Marco Fermani (on the Ukulele, melodica, and stompbox), launched their project in October 2017, starting to perform concerts in various Italian regions. Over the years, they have had the honor of participating in several Italian and European festivals.

In 2019, they released their first album: “Organetto a cUkù”. Currently, they frequently perform concerts in various Italian and European cities, offering not only live performances but also workshops on Marchigiano dances and the Ukulele.
