ARIACORTE MUSICA POPOLARE
On Aug. 12, the traveling festival "La Notte della Taranta," makes a stop in Alessano. Now in its 25th edition dedicated to the theme "The Tradition of the New," Italy's largest traveling festival crosses 21 towns in Salento from Aug. 4 to 25, with 43 pizzica concerts, more than 400 artists and will lead to the long night of the Concertone on Aug. 27 in Melpignano (Le), with the maestro concertmaster DARDUST, and will be broadcast on RAI 1, Thursday, Sept. 1 at 11:15 p.m.
Rehearsals are in full swing for the sound journey between memory and vision of the Concertone at the Cinema of Calimera with Dardust and the Notte della Taranta Orchestra.
The evening kicks off at 9 p.m. in Piazza Don Tonino Bello with the notes of the historic Salento folk music group Aria Corte, led by its founder Rocco Borlizzi, which returns to the stages by re-proposing "Damme La Manu" one of the most important "alla stisa" songs of the Salento folk repertoire. A classic of the band that today is revisited thanks to artistic collaborations with Vincenza de Rinaldis, Anna Maggio and Gianluca Milanese, who joyfully took part in the realization. A decades-long career of the group marked by the continuous search for an encounter with other experiences of music making: from classical - as in this case - to international ethnic music. Aria Corte will appear on stage at the La Notte della Taranta Festival with: Rocco Borlizzi Band Manger, voice and tambourine; Giacomo Casciaro: guitar, voice, winds, mandola; Sergio Pizza, drums; Angelo Surdo Accordion; Alberto Pezzuto, voice and violin; Gianluca Milanese, transverse flute; Anna Maggio, harp; Vincenza de Rinaldis (guest) voice.
The music continues with Uccio Aloisi Gruppu. Antonio Aloisi, better known as Uccio Aloisi (Cutrofiano, Oct. 1, 1928 - Cutrofiano, Oct. 21, 2010), born into a peasant family, together with Uccio Bandello and Uccio Melissano, founded the legendary group "Li Ucci," custodians of the folk tradition of "stornelli," songs of work and love often improvised to the rhythm of the tamburello. The rediscovery for popular music linked to the Taranta phenomenon led the group to perform outside regional borders in Italy and abroad. Uccio Aloisi was a singer of popular music, among the most charismatic, well-known and appreciated figures in the Salento musical tradition of pizzica; Aloisi was one of the regular guests of the Notte della Taranta and has trod the most important stages of popular music, collaborating with internationally renowned artists and Italian artists, including Buena Vista Social. Aloisi started his own group, the "Uccio Aloisi Gruppu," which continues the path of popular music with Antonio Calsolaro, Domenico Riso, Luigi Nuzzo, Pasquale Pizzolante, and Max Però.
