Tomorrow in Lecce a small town near the heal of Italy with a population of 95,000 will host the 22nd Notte della taranta and something like 250,000 people will turn up to see a spectacular show. Most of the performers are musicians and dancers from around this area. Go look for the videos of the event – I have a few links on my blog. For the next 30 minutes – some of the music that has been released starting with a big stage filled with about 20 musicians and in the middle, a man plays the spoons.
| Ludivico Einuaudi & Ballake sissoko | Ninna Nanna | la notte della tarantella 2010 |
Most of the music I’m playing from La Notte Della Teranta tonight is from 2010. One band that has really developed an international reputation and will be playing The Proms in London at the end of the month is Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino
| Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino | Nu te fermare | Pizzica indiavolata |
There is an ensemble of singers who also play in bands from the region and some only seem to do occasional recording and performance – two of the 5 or 6 women singers who appear on the stage are Alessia Tondo, Enza Pagliara – here in the Tranta project with the 2010 musical director, Eluvico Einaudi
