SUMMARY:Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino
DESCRIPTION:Global Rhythms: Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino\nScattered Rhymes and Tarantula Dances\nCure whatever may ail you\, whether it be a bite from the tarantula or just a general malaise at the state of the world with Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino (CGS)\, a seven-member ensemble from the Salento peninsula of Apulia “the heel of the boot” of Italy. \nLed by tambourine player and violinist\, Mauro Duarante\, who inherited leadership from his father in 2007\, CGS combines music and dance that engage centuries of history with lyrics that often address modern challenges. By reinterpreting musical traditions\, including the famous ritual\, pizzica tarantata (believed to have the power to cure the bite of a tarantula through music\, trance\, and dance)\, CGS bring historic sounds into the present with respect paid to the past. \nCanzoniere Grecanico Salentino is anchored by the singing of a trio of outstanding vocalists: the mesmerizing Alessia Tondo\, Giancarlo Paglialunga (a masterful player of the tamburrieddhu)\, and Emanuele Licci\, a guitar and bouzouki player who\, like Durante\, is the son of an original CGS member\, reminding us of the importance of tradition passed down through a familial line. Powering the band’s sound are Giulio Bianco on a brace of instruments including the Italian bagpipes\, and pizzica scholar Massimiliano Morabito\, hailed as “the best traditional diatonic accordionist in Puglia.” In keeping with the tradition of tarantism\, the seventh member of the band is not a musician at all\, but the incomparable dancer Silvia Perrone. \nWhen listening\, it becomes apparent that the energy of the music reflects the peninsula of Apulia from which the band hails\, soaring across cliffs of emotion as waves of passion crash into a rocky sea before nestling to rest in a quaint stucco abode. CGS continues the Salentine tradition of using pizzica tarantata to draw the community together in order to process life’s struggles and to expel the poisons of the contemporary world. \nhttps://ticketing.townhallseattle.org/events/01985c3a-7997-8da0-0767-59302b2683bf
