    CGS, Bringing the Power of Taranta to North America

    N. L.(September 07, 2011)
    Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino’s North American tour brings the concert experience of The Notte Della Taranta festival to US and Canadian populations for the first time. There is a strong interest in the rediscovery and restoration of one’s roots and identity through traditional musical forms. Rather than creating a lovingly-preserved postcard to the past, the Pizzica Taranta experience encourages contemporary global culture to play a role in the on-going regeneration of the music and dance of Puglia born from the ancient and universally-known Italian tale of the Tarantella.
