On Aug. 13, the traveling festival "La Notte della Taranta," makes a stop in Racale. 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 up to the long night of the Concertone on Aug. 27 in Melpignano (Le), with the maestro concertatore DARDUST, in the midst of rehearsal activity these days at the Cinema di Calimera together with the Orchestra della Notte della Taranta.
The sound journey between memory and vision of Concertone 2022 will be broadcast on RAI 1, Thursday, Sept. 1 at 11:15 p.m.
The evening kicks off at 9 p.m. with a concert by Mimmo Epifani & Barbers, which was born as a reminiscent voice of tradition, a timeless soul that preserves its historical memories among the thousands of multicultural amnesias of our times. Music, songs, dances, having as their focus the plucked instruments of the "barbers" musically revisited in an ethnic key. The group's vision is that in a historical and social paradigm characterized by a profound crisis of values, massification and the baroque emphasis of culture increasingly devoid of identity, the idea of a concert is born that can, through the special and subliminal language of the "Arts," awaken consciences and collective memories from the hedonistic slumber and 'exasperating individualism of our society. The result of the concert a feast that involves, drags, moves in a real explosion of sounds, voices and rhythms. Components: Mimmo Epifani, vocals, mandolin, mandola; Sasà Flauto, vocals, guitars; Giuseppino Grassi, vocals, plectrum instruments; Francesco Santalucia, vocals, piano, percussion; Marilena Gragnaniello, reciting voice, frame drums, dance.
This will be followed by the music of the group KalurYa, which offers a repertoire consisting mainly of pizziche and tarantelle, the result of extravagant and exciting ethnomusicological investigations and refined contaminations with other popular and non-popular musical traditions. Their shows of the are an explosion of energy, passion, rhythm and magic, dragging on a journey from the past to the present on the incessant beat of Stefano De Monte's tambourine, the beating heart of the Salento tradition, on the interweaving and cascading notes of Gianni Faggiano's accordion. Mimmo Quarta's percussion rhythm, Gianluca Martina's bass groove, Luciano Micolani's lead guitar and Alessia Pellè's choreography complete the lineup.
