Join us for an unforgettable evening of music, culture, and tradition with Peppa Marriti Band, hailing from Santa Sofia d’Epiro—a small town of Albanian origin in Southern Italy.
Blending the powerful spirit of rock with the deep-rooted traditions of the Arbëresh (Italo-Albanian) community, Peppa Marriti Band creates a unique sound that honors their heritage while electrifying modern audiences. For over two decades, they’ve brought their message and music to stages across Europe and the U.S., including appearances at Arezzo Wave, Adriatico-Mediterraneo, DemoFest, New York University, Pallati i Brigadave in Tirana and many more.
Their mission is more than musical: through their energetic performances, the band seeks to preserve the language, stories, and soul of the Italo-Albanian minority—communities that have flourished in Southern Italy for over 500 years.
