FolkClub EthnoSuoni is a label & music publisher, still young but endowed with a great story: in fact it inherited part of the production of the Italian label Robi Droli, and it has been enriched with two consolidated experiences: that of FolkClub, the well-known Turin-based association working in the field of concert, research, and educational activities, and that of EthnoSuoni, which is responsible for the 20-year-old festival Folkermesse and many more musical events and productions.
FolkClub EthnoSuoni was born to bring out music realities that are artistically and culturally interesting, and to make their spreading possible into the national and international recording world. This means to enrich the common market with extremely interesting proposals from the often underestimated universe of Italian traditional music. But this is not to neglect many-sided international ethnic music! On the contrary, over the last few years Folkclub Ethnosuoni has already produced some "foreign" works from France, England, or Catalunya. Under this light, some recent works that boast a European character are particularly important, such as the EYFO, the first European Youth Folk Orchestra, born from the collaboration with the European Network of Traditional Music and Dance.
Morover, FolkClub Ethnosuoni distinguishes itself - with a sense of pride - for the social character of its work. Part of the income of some titles which have been published until now is destined to NGOs dealing with humanitarian projects. Among these are Emergency, Médecins sans Frontières, and CTM, that receive small but significant contributions as indicated by the artists involved, such as La Ciapa Rusa, La Lionetta, and Cororcherstra Cantarchevai
