Ensemble Terra d'Otranto ::: Il cartellone


courtesy of survivor 69 again
Formed in 1991, playing baroque and late Renaissance music, this is indeed a set of "taranta" music, but the attitude of these musician is chamberistic. It includes readings from tales about taranta and popular beliefs in Puglia... being these readings obviously in ITALIAN, you might prefer skipping them and downloads only these "Tarantelle", which are indeed well worth hearing... (readings are marked (R))
There’s a double cover set, with or without readings – in this case you have to re-number tracks

Nidi d'Arac ::: St. Rocco's rave



Nidi d'Arac continue exploring the multiples connections between the new and the ancient inspired by technological developments and a growing club culture.
By forging a more than ever stronger dialogue between traditional folk music and digital sounds, melting together electronica's hypnotic cadences and the trance state induced by the taranta, they have successfully taken their music well beyond the Italian typical pop/rock/raggae audience to a much wider world music audience and a club-going international fan base.
Always aware and deeply respectful of tradition, Nidi d'Arac have reshaped the traditional sounds of pizzica by employing dub's ability to distort and colour sound while retaining its ancient soulful beauty.
And to the purists that often say that is better to leave old traditions as they are, Nidi d'Arac can just point out that there are elements already present in the old that very much often are sympathetically and quite naturally amplified by the new

Encardia ::: Agapi mou Fidella


courtesy of martsou
The ethnic Greeks living in Salento (Puglia) and Calabria have their own distinct dialects (Griko and Grecanico, respectively). They have lived in the area for an undetermined amount of time, possibly as early as Ancient Greece or as late as the Middle Ages. The community has been largely assimilated by the Italian nation, but there remain speakers of the dialects and other aspects of the culture. There was a roots revival in the 1970s in this area, paralleling similar developments across continental Europe, including Brittany and Catalonia.
Encardia is the name of a Greek musical ensemble inspired by, creating and presenting melodies and songs from the rich musical tradition of Southern Italy . The group came together in 2004 and has performed for more than 180 live concerts in the regions of Greece , Italy , Southern France and Cyprus . They have cooperated with the most important representatives of the Southern Italian musical tradition for album recordings as well as in live performances (G. Avantiaggiato, R. Licci, C.Villani, E. Castagna , Ghetonia , mala lingua and others). They have also performed with well-known greek fellow artists such as A. Bakirtzis, N. Portokaloglou, F. Delivorias, K. Thomaides, V. Lekkas, C. Tsiamoulis, A. Ioannides, N. Xidakis, the symphonic orchestra of the municipality of Athens and others. The troubadours of encardia have released two albums (“Agapi mou Fidella” and "To paramithi tis tarantoulas"), both critically acclaimed. The unique connection they share with their audiences while in concert has often been notably mentioned by the media. There is also a third album (Kalos Irtate) which was the live recording of the cultural meeting “Greeks meet Greeks” during which Twenty three musicians and about ten dancers from Southern Italy and Greece took turns on stage and deposited the musical experiences of three different generations.

Tamburellisti di Torrepaduli ::: Taranta Taranta


Tamburellisti is the soul of Pizzica and Taranta tradition in itself. The legendary band from Torrepaduli (Lecce) is one among the masterminds of Salento’s musical renaissance since the 80’s. Tamburellisti Di Torrepaduli are one of the few Taranta acts that have been playing live regularly abroad. They are lead by singer Pierpaolo De Giorgi, internationally known philosopher and aesthete. The band includes the most famous tambourine section from Salento and the exceptional ballerina Serena D'Amato, living icon of the Taranta dance scene. Pierpaolo De Giorgi and his philosophic-ethnic-musical research have brought the 'Taranta mith' back to life with its cultural-spiritual heritage of Greek origin, aimed to the psycho-energetic rebalance of the individual (iatro-musica). Taranta, or the music of the God Dionysus, as performed by Tamburellisti, brings out the values of gathering, dancing together and energetic wellness that come the ‘ritmo tarantato’ of  the tambourine that pulses synchronized with the heartbeat, the stars motion and the lifecycle. Tamburellisti di Torrepaduli are the band musically and conceptually closer to the ideal of Magna Grecia, due to the fact that they have reproposed the Greek tradition of monodia and released several albums of grìko music and taranta. Their 2009 tour has been extremely successful, starting on 13th March from Stockholm, to continue in Italy and Greece with over 40 dates, it returned to Athens at the end of October for the 'Cultural exchange for peace and the union of Mediterranean cultures'. Tamburellisti di Torrepaduli will also take part to the movie and its soundtrack of 'Ne te retourne pas' with Monica Bellucci and Sophie Marceu

Bizantina ::: Orlando tarantato


 Although BIZANTINA is based in Florence, the group style has deep roots in the Southern Italian tradition and in a powerful mix of Mediterranean and Balkanic influences, a sophisticated language already accomplished in “Zahir”, the third album. This female fronted group is leaded by stunning singer Michaela D’Astuto that features numerous striking qualities; the commanding presence of her voice and songs sets her apart, as pointed out in every press review or radio program. An impressive stage awareness and a maniac precision down to the last detail, brought BIZANTINA to compose last studio Album "ORLANDO TARANTATO" as the soundtrack of a theatre show; thanks to it the group sweeps public off his feet even in majors theatres.

Zagara ::: L'eros nella Grecia Salentina


Female group of 7 from Salento's "Greek" speaking area. The most "eastern" album and one of the most fascinating work of our catalog. The music and the concerts of Zagara have something magic that make their sound absolutely original and unique. One could say they have created a new kind of music from a dream in which you can see Homer and the ancient Greece.

Ghetonia ::: Riza


A cross between Italy, Balkans and Stravinsky. Ghetonia is something to be taken into account as “generation next”, just a kind of absolute aesthetic perfection of musical form and contents. They are a highly excitable, improvisationally eclectic, world-jazz-contemporary group whose amazing musical language blends timeless sounds and words absorbing Italian, Greek, Balkan, Pizzica, Taranta and much more. Group’s recordings and concerts are to be listed among the finest expressions of Italian musical culture. GHETONIA comes from a very old Greek speaking community based in Southern Apulia, where Griko language has been speaking around for 3.000 years (it's Homer's language). Last album "RIZA" (cd+dvd), that means “root” in ancient and modern Greek, collected praises all over the world and is already took into consideration as a supreme “classic recording” in the field

Nidi d'Arac ::: Salento senza tempo


During the 1990s, the pizzica taranta, a traditional music of the Salento peninsula in the Puglia region of southern Italy, was taken up both by folk revivalists and more forward-looking musicians. Groups such as Aramire and Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino specialized in straight-up, traditional renderings of pizzica, sometimes with new, topical lyrics. Others, most notably Nidi D'Arac, were grounded in the tradition but mixed pizzica with techno, dub, and Balkan and North African music. 
Nidi D'Arac, founded and led by the charismatic singer-guitarist-percussionist Alessandro Coppola, pulled off a brilliant synthesis of Salento roots music and electronica with their 2006 album, Saint Rocco's Rave. Purists may have been put off, but as Rootsworld's Lee Blackstone observed, "all the elements that make Nidi D'Arac sonically mysterious are present in abundance: Coppola's soaring voice, violin and flute, tambourine flourishes, dub and echo flitting about the production. It is an album where the band sounds incredibly confident and not a song is misplaced."
Coppola apparently decided that he'd taken the fusion of folk roots and electronica as far as he could, since his latest, Salento Senza Tempo (Timeless Salento) is a complete u-turn from the experimentation of St. Rocco's Rave. The CD notes state, in fact, that it's not even a new Nidi D'Arac album but rather a tribute to the traditional music of Salento.
Coppola et al. have turned off the synths and sequencers for their latest, but Salento Senza Tempo, though entirely acoustic, isn't all traditional pizzica. Piano, strings, and traps imbue the folk-based material with a welcome modernity.
The not-Nidi aspect is evident in the personnel. Only a few of the sixteen tracks feature the entire band, a shifting aggregation whose core, in addition to Coppola, includes vocalist Vera De Lecce, violinist Rodrigo D'Erasmo and the excellent percussionist Maurizio Catania. Interspersed among the ensemble numbers are solo and duo pieces. There are complete songs and brief instrumental interludes that serve as connective tissue between them.
Guest musicians, including I Tamburellisti di S.Rocco, accompany Coppola on several tracks. The Tamburellisti, players of the tamburello, a large tambourine, themselves represent a blend of tradition and modernity. The group was formed from musicians representing two different southern Italian percussion schools, the more traditional from Torrepaduli, a quarter in the Salento town of Ruffano, the other represented by Andrea Piccioni, a percussionist noted for adapting the tamburello to diverse, non-folk settings and styles.
The pizzica derives from an ancient dance in whose frenetic rhythms impoverished Salentini found momentary release from the harshness of their lives. The melancholy and sorrow of Salento Senza Tempo is a reminder that pizzica, like certain reggae, is "sufferers'" music. "Mmalavita," a solo by Coppola, leads into "Su rrivatu a San Frangiscu," a grim narrative that relates what happens to a man living the malavita, the criminal life, when he ends up in a prison where pitiless mafia violence and murder reign.
There are love songs, but they're also colored by deep sadness. In "Su vinutu luntanu luntanu," a lover returns from afar bringing a serenade he fears his inamorata will not accept; frantic and lovelorn, he waits outside her door, imploring her to let him in.
Salento Senza Tempo has been thoughtfully conceived and impeccably arranged, played and sung. It's a testament to Alessandro Coppola's seriousness of purpose, his deep knowledge of and love for the traditional music of Salento. I admire it quite a bit, and love some of it. But overall it doesn't thrill me like St. Rocco's Rave. For me, the radically different versions of "Quante Tarante?," a track that appears on both albums, say it all. On Saint Rocco's Rave it's an upbeat, techno-dub mood elevator that gives me happy feet; the more restrained and traditional Salento Senza Tempo version doesn't.
I hope Coppola's latest is a temporary detour from his masterful mixing of Salento tradition with contaminazioni from other musical cultures. (That term has a positive connotation in Italian, signifying the enrichment of local idioms through the incorporation of foreign elements.) In fact, the newest incarnation of Nidi D'Arac suggests he's returned to that approach. The current lineup features three tamburellisti, but also a "dub master."
