FROM CHINA TO DISCOVER THE NIGHT OF TARANTA

A delegation of entrepreneurs and cultural promoters from the Canton region in China, twinned with the Puglia region since 2011, was welcomed on Friday, July 7, at the headquarters of the Notte della Taranta Foundation. The guests toured the sites of the Concertone and learned about the history of the world-renowned event.

"We are here," said June Liu, "because La Notte della Taranta is a must and we are curious to find out how this reality has managed to make music of tradition contemporary and modern. Our goal is to start a dialogue with Fondazione to build a bridge of opportunity with China and organize a special concert together."

It was 2006 when the Notte della Taranta landed in China with its load of rhythm and passion.

The Chinese delegation was welcomed by the music and dance of the People's Orchestra and the Taranta Dance Corps.
