The tour of the traveling festival "La Notte della Taranta" continues, stopping in Zollino on Aug. 17. Now in its 25th edition dedicated to the theme "The tradition of the new," Italy's largest traveling festival crosses 21 municipalities of 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, 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 p.m.
The evening kicks off at 9 p.m. at the municipal villa with the music of A Sud di Bella Ciao. A great popular fresco, the story of the life and feelings of a people through a repertoire ranging from social and protest songs to love songs and dance, inspired by Dario Fo's Ci ragiono e canto from 1966. The album A sud di Bella Ciao is the natural follow-up to the first Bella Ciao, a successful 2014 project that took the 1964 revival of the historic show around the world. This time, as the title announces, the compass points decisively toward southern Italy, with the rhythms of tammurriata, ballo tondo and pizzica, with the melodies daughters of Mediterranean influences, and with poetry, more lyrical in the love songs and more raw in the songs of revolt. Riccardo Tesi (accordion, musical direction), Elena Ledda (vocals), Lucilla Galeazzi (vocals), Alessio Lega (vocals, guitar), Nando Citarella (vocals, tambourine, beating guitar), Maurizio Geri (vocals, guitar), Gigi Biolcati (percussion, vocals), Claudio Carboni (saxophone) guide the listener on a journey into the past that once again helps to understand and decipher our present. Thirteen songs that trace an ideal path that starts from the center of the Belpaese, crosses the south and arrives in Sardinia. "A Sud di Bella Ciao" just wants to tell a story that combines with magic and legend, where rituality awakens the peasant world, where sensuality is mixed with fatigue.
Next up is Criamu, the group that for more than 20 years has been conveying a message of recovery and respect for folk traditions while remaining wide-eyed about the even technological reality that surrounds us. Their melodic line is traced by the sound of mandolin strings the mandola and bouzucki and an accordion that interlock with a Mediterranean Salento sound ensemble made up of midi synthesizers electric percussion Salento tambureddhru and cupa cupa with a singing of two ancestral voices. Criamu's music keeps intact, powerful, pulsating and catalyzing intensities typical of archaic Salento folk music. Often with contemporary style arrangements well appreciated by a modern 'ear'; at other times in competent respect of ancient rhythms and melodies. The group consists of: DJ Aka Bellezza, programming; Valeria Giagnotti, accordion; Katia Giagnotti, voice and tambureddhru; Mino Cavallino, voice, tambureddhru and guitar.
