The evening kicks off at 9 p.m. with "Notes of a Journey," a musical performance by and with Pino Ingrosso, the lead vocalist of Oscar winner Nicola Piovani. It is a musical journey, a light and brilliant tale of a past that still belongs to us; a journey that punctuates, with lightness and a touch of nostalgia, the manners, traditions, customs and traditions of Southern Italy, relived through childhood memories, the stories of the elderly, typical sounds, colors, sounds and scents capable of evoking an ancestral civilization common not only to the South of Italy, but to all the Souths of the world. The music that will embellish the show, is a carousel of Mediterranean sounds. Most of the songs in the show were composed by Pino Ingrosso with the peculiarity of being written in Salento dialect and Italian. Pino Ingrosso (vocals, acoustic guitar and ukulele) will be joined on stage by: Francesco De Siena, keyboards and backing vocals; Dario Cota, accordion and keyboards; Umberto Malagnino, bass guitar; Vito De Lorenzi, drums and drums; Alessandro Chiga, percussion; and Daniela Guercia, reciting voice, backing vocals, percussive colors, tres cubano.
Next, the music continues with the Orchestra Popolare Notte della Taranta is the Salento folk music group that changed the history of pizzica by exporting it to the world. Founded in 2004 within the Melpignano Concertone, it is now the undisputed leader in the world music scene. Tradition and constant innovation, unique and unmistakable sound, the Orchestra is characterized by the multitude of fascinating sound paths born from the collaborations with the likes of Joe Zawinul, Stewart Copeland of the Police, Phil Manzanera of Roxy Music, Salif Keita, LP, Concha Buika, Gregory Porter and again Ludovico Einaudi, Lucio Dalla, Francesco De Gregori, Roberto Vecchioni, Ligabue and with the different musical genres from jazz to rock, from blues to electronic, from classical to rap. In touring abroad, the Popular Orchestra sets the squares of the world ablaze and represents Italian Popular Culture in the most prestigious international contexts from Argentina to Kuwait, from Chile to Saudi Arabia, from the United States to China. In the past year, the Orchestra has been featured at New Year's Eve at Expo Dubai, Peter Gabriel's Womad Chile, and the Mediterranean Games in Oran, Algeria.
Every year the Orchestra, acclaimed by the public and critics, leads the Concertone di Melpignano, which in the last quarter century has fostered the birth of new groups and new festivals related to pizzica by promoting all activities related to the recovery and revival of popular traditions. The set of songs and dances proposed by the Orchestra during 25 years of the Notte della Taranta today represent a speaking archive of excellence. A fundamental archive, a work of research and study of popular culture, which has formed the basis of everything that the groups, born thanks to the work of promoting the Notte della Taranta, can tell the world today. Numerous musicians and singers have been formed within the Orchestra and today they are the protagonists of a personal journey and transformed traditional songs into hits known to the general public such as: Aria Caddhipulina, Santu Paulu, Calinitta, Aremu, Lule Lule, Lu ruciu de lu mare, L'acqua de la funtana, the extraordinary pizziches of Torchiarolo, Aradeo, of Lizzano, Copertino, Cordella, of Stifani, San Vito.
