SPECIAL PROJECT MUSICAE LOCI

POPULAR ORCHESTRA NOTTE DELLA TARANTA AND MAX GAZZÈ TOGETHER IN ALBEROBELLO AND CONTURSI

JUNE 30 ALBEROBELLO (BA)

AUGUST 7 CONTURSI (SA)

The Popular Orchestra of La Notte della Taranta will accompany Max Gazzè on the first leg of Musicae loci, the new project that will immerse the singer-songwriter in territories and traditions throughout Italy.

This journey, in which he will be joined by the best folk orchestras in the peninsula, will begin on Friday, June 30, from Alberobello, in Piazza Martellotta at 8:30 p.m., with the orchestra of La Notte della Taranta.

Alberobello, known for its trulli, becomes the ideal stage to promote under the sign of music new forms of artistic collaborations where the colorful and hypnotic rhythms of the most traditional instruments and percussion will join the sound background of the artist. In a mutual mingling of notes, with arrangements edited by Max Dedo and Taranta musicians Gianluca Longo - mandola, Nico Berardi - woodwinds, Alessandro Monteduro - percussion, Antonio Marra - drums, Roberto Gemma - accordion, Mario Esposito - bass , Roberto Chiga - tambourine, Alessandro Chiga - tambourine, Gioele Nuzzo - didgeridoo, Attilio Turrisi - beating guitar will offer a unique concert. On stage with Gazzè, the folk orchestra of La Notte della Taranta will reshape the singer-songwriter's songs with new nuances, and he will reinterpret some of the most representative songs of the musical tradition of Salento.
This is not the first time that Max Gazzè confronts popular music, the rhythm of pizzica and the Salento dialect: in 2013, in fact, he was among the guest artists at the Melpignano Concertone.

The concert will be repeated in CONTURSI TERME (SA) on Aug. 7.
