On August 16, the traveling festival "La Notte della Taranta," makes a stop in Ugento. 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 concertmaster DARDUST, in the midst of rehearsal activity these days at the Cinema of Calimera together with the Orchestra of the 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 pm.
It starts at 9 p.m. with music by the Cultural Association Pietrevive del Salento - Workshop of Dramaturgy and Popular Music of Salento, which operates in Salento in the field of theatrical and musical activities and research and study on traditions and popular culture, established after the dissolution of the "Compagnia Popolare in re" which, for about 30 years, was present in the area with various works in prose and music written and directed by Tonino Papadia. Active courses in acting, tambourine and dance (Pizzica) that find the interest of many young people and several interventions are made in schools through the presentation of school projects on popular music and theater, traditions and local history. He recently released the CD Sole, which represents the epilogue of a vast concert activity carried out with the show "Colors of the Mediterranean." Currently, as a result of research done on songs and music, which go beyond pizzica and Salento, it has enriched its repertoire with new arrangements and especially with a new musical and narrative path with the show: When the sun danced the night. The components are: Tonino Papadia, narrator; Antonio Saracino, woodwinds; Antonella Rubino, singing; Angelo Gaglione, singing, drums and percussion; Francesco Longo, accordion; Vito Bellanova, double bass; Angelo Guarini, guitar and erhu; Daniele Errico, synth; Ofelia Corrado, dance.
The music continues with Le Sette Bocche, a band that shares the experience of folk music, with a completely personal interpretative key, very close to Nu Folk or, as Marcello Colasurdo defined them: "Etno Local." The group's musical project begins with ethnographic research on the origins of the culture of the area, in which each member expresses his or her own musical background, to give body to a show inspired by the music, songs and dances typical of popular culture. The group has performed at numerous events in Italy and abroad. After their recording debut in 2014 with the album "Simm' sett 'ott e nuje" followed, in 2018, the second Live CD encompassing the experiences of the grueling summer and winter tours: #sfravecatour. This year, the group presents a new show entitled "Jettatour," a true musical therapy aimed at warding off and banishing fears and ailments. The group consists of Angelo Plaitano, voice and guitar; Daniela Dentato, drum; Alfredo Marraffa, flutes; Domenico Ingenito, violin; Antonio Rizzo, electric bass; Pasquale Di Lascio, drums; and Francesca La Ragione, dance.
Next up is the turn of Mascarimirì, a group from the world music scene with a unique and original sound, the result of more than 20 years of "Tradinnovation." The idea of electro world music par excellence is created by Claudio "Cavallo" Giagnotti, a musician-producer from Salento with Roma origins, leader and founder of the band since 1998. The Mascarimiri project, born in a still non-touristic Salento, which has always been at the forefront of sound experimentation, stands for the union of tradition and innovation with a powerful and engaging sound, enriched by the sounds of the whole Mediterranean and gypsy area. Today the group's sound is mature, always innovative, strong in the deep knowledge of its roots, with unmistakable international identity. With twelve studio albums under their belt and first-rate concert activity, Mascarimirì has been rewriting tradition for more than 20 years. The group consists of: Claudio "Cavallo" Giagnotti, vocals, tamburieddhu, programming, ethnic winds; Alessandro Schito, vocals, tamburieddhu; Matteo Torsello, vocals, electric guitar; Gabriele Martino, vocals, electric mandolin; Kasia Kurdziel visual, production.
