Popcorner: "Utar piata"

Fresh, authentic and open to anything that sounds different: Popcorner, a seven-piece ensemble from the Fassa Valley, is bringing new energy to the Ladin music scene. With an exciting mix of their own Ladin songs and international covers, they inspire with their youthful sound, strong voices and audible enthusiasm. Their first album, ‘Utar piata’, was recently released.

Founded in 2023, Popcorner deliberately goes beyond mere cover versions: workshops on songwriting and music production have given rise to a new generation of Ladin pop music – modern, emotional and stylistically open.

The name ‘Popcorner’ has a double meaning: ‘pop’ means ‘child’ in Ladin – but at the same time it is reminiscent of the pop music genre that forms the core of their style, and “corner” means ‘vagabond’ – a tongue-in-cheek allusion to their musical freedom.
