I Tamburellisti di Torrepaduli live at the Festa te la Uliata, 28 July, 2018
This is a down and dirty video of I Tamburellisti di Torrepaduli live at the Festa te la Uliata in Caprarica di Lecce (Puglia), 28 July, 2018.
This is one of the major groups in the field of Pizzica in the Salento area of Puglia (Lecce and south). Founder Pierpaolo De Giorgi, an ethnomusicologist, began the group along with a few players of the large Italian tambourine, the tamburello, in an effort to recreate and preserve the real, driving essence of the original therapeutic taranetlla-pizzica. Their energy in concert is great evidence of this mission! They are based around Torrepaduli, a town in the southern end of the Salento, rich with folklore and unique musical traditions. Dance is always an important component of their performances...

This was shot at the annual Sagra della Insalata Grika, the Greek Salad Festival!

Here is a video from a recent performance by GirodiBanda in Galatina, just south of Lecce. This song, "Caterina", is on their new CD, and is a traditional song from Southern Italy, from Campania, I am pretty sure...I have a few versions from Napoli (three by Marcello Colasurdo!!!!), but the words/parole are different in Giro's version, and the Napoli version is much longer. But this was a great...
Alla Bua, from the Salento in southern Italy, Live in Cavallino, 1 July, 2018

This group is formed by musicians from around the Salento (southern Puglia), south of Lecce. The name is comes from a dialect expression meaning "another way", or "alternative medicine" which could evolve from the traditional musical cure, the pizzica or tarantela, which was a sort of exorcism to expel the trance state induced by the bite of local tarantulas. In any case, the music is very trad...
