The music for Koparoche is Tarantella Napoletana, or Neapolitan Tarantella, composed by Luigi Ricci (1805–1859). The same music is widely used for the international folkdance called "Neopolitan Tarantella", a partner dance with typically Italian movements. The recording used is called Cicerenella and is sung by Israeli singer Geula Gill, accompanied by the Oranim Zabar Folk Dance Orchestra.
