TAMBURELLISTI DI TORRE PADULI
TAMBURELLISTI is the soul of Pizzica and Taranta tradition in itself. Pierpaolo De Giorgi (leader and singer) is a living-legend philosopher and aesthete; Serena D'Amato (dancer) is the most acknowledged and in-demand Italian artist in her field while rhythmic section was ever hailed as the most famous “tamburelli” playing number since ever. The group re-proposes ancient Greek monody, where vocal melodies are supported only by rhythmic section and light harmonic lines.

left: Rossano Ruggeri and the late Giuseppe Mighali, a.k.a. PINO ZIMBA (icon of Italian World Music)
The heart of rhythm, the supreme artistry of tamburello and the historical evolution of Pizzica and Taranta have found their highest expression and worldwide success in ZIMBARIA’s music (a kind of tarantella linked with “tarantismo”, the phenomenon where women go in trance because of poisoned spider’s bite). Last album “Baciu ‘nvelenatu” represents a milestone in the Italian roots music and a turning-point to evolve towards new horizons.
