L’occhio della betulla (“The Eye of the Birch Tree”) is the debut album of Marco Santilli CheRoba – a quartet uniting clarinet, piano/accordion, guitar, and percussion in an evocative blend of jazz, folk, and European chamber music.

Born from a moment of quiet observation — a birch tree watching back from outside the window — the music unfolds in story-like compositions, shaped by the playful spontaneity of the ensemble. Featuring Lorenzo Frizzera, Ivan Tibolla, and Fulvio Maras, this album captures the spirit of surprise behind the Ticinese expression “Che roba!”
