Biography
A master from the two-row melodeon, Totore Chessa remains focused on the musical customs from the Italian island of Sardinia. Whether playing single or associated with traditional equipment including launeddas, a tube organ that produces a bagpipe-like drone, as well as the mouth area harp-like trunfa, Chessa skillfully summons the tastes of the previous world along with his squeeze-box melodies. Chessa was called “professional of folklore” with the arranging commission from the Regional Celebration of Nuoro Folklore.
