Zampogna

Zampogna (UK: /zæmˈpɒnjə/, US: /zæmˈpoʊnjə, (t)sɑːmˈ-/, Italian: [dzamˈpoɲɲa]) is a generic term for a number of Italian double chantered bagpipes that can be found throughout areas in Latium. The tradition is now mostly associated with Christmas, and the most famous Italian carol, "Tu scendi dalle stelle" (You Come Down From the Stars), is derived from traditional zampogna music. However, there is an ongoing resurgence of the instrument in secular use seen with the increasing number of folk music festivals and folk music in each December by Italian ensembles.
