” Le Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino est le plus grand et le plus ancien groupe de musique traditionnelle des Pouilles dédié à la danse de la Pizzica, baigné par les transes incandescentes notamment de la Notte della Taranta. Porté désormais par Mauro Durante, fils de Daniele Durante, fondateur de l’ensemble en 1975, ce septuor perpétue avec passion et bravoure la ferveur et les rythmes obsessionnels qui traversent les tarentelles. Interprétant des ballades amoureuses et des chants sociaux aux sons enivrants du tamburello, le Canzoniere transcende l’univers des musiques populaires de l’Italie méridionale.
Avec ses 16 albums et ses nombreux spectacles présentés en Europe, au Moyen Orient et aux Etats Unis, le groupe a su représenter le folklore dans le sud d’Italie, et a toujours joui d’un vif succès auprès du public et une attention approbatrice de la presse spécialisée. Leur nouveau cd, Quaranta, fête les 40 ans d’existence du collectif. ” http://

Stanotte torniamo ad attraversare l’Italia – dal Salento al Piemonte – sempre partendo dal nostro ricco patrimonio folk.
Suoni carichi di emozioni che passano da due band che hanno fatto la storia della ricerca sulla musica popolare: il leggendario gruppo calabrese Re Niliu e ilCGS – Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino, griot moderni che, partendo dalle proprie radici musicali ci raccontano anche di storie attuali di persone e di vita.
Il repertorio tradizionale piemontese viene rielaborato invece in maniera suggestiva e personale dal trio Din Dùn, in chiave colta dal gruppo vocale Quintetto Nigrae, a mischiare le tradizioni, a far incontrare il nord con il sud, ci pensa la musica antica, colta e popolare deiKhaossia – Ethno Ensemble Salentina che cantano il legame tra Otranto e Venezia del XVI secolo.

Italian pizzica group Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino sets the tone yesterday for this weekend’s WOMADelaide festival in Adelaide.

MEREDITH BOOTH // THE AUSTRALIAN // MARCH 07, 2015
THE frantic rhythms of the taranta, or spider, dance was once a ritual exorcism in southern Italy’s churches and piazzas for women bitten by the poisonous tarantula.
Now, rapid tambourine beats accompanied by a scarf-waving dancer, voice, violin, bouzouki and accordion of the seven-piece group Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino were an antidote for modern-day demons, said violinist Mauro Durante, who will perform with the ensemble at Adelaide’s four-day World of Music, Arts and Dance festival, WOMADelaide, which began last night in the city’s lush Botanic Park.
Durante said traditions of pizzica-style taranta — which originated in Puglia, Italy’s “heel” — had been revived since the mid70s, with the band now featuring its second generation of players.
Neo-tarantismo is now celebrated with an annual festival in the province of Lecce, melding traditional and contemporary sounds in the style.
Durante and bazouki player Emanuele Licci’s parents were in the original line-up of the group, which now tours internationally.
“The ritual is dead, tarantismo is dead, but we like to think that the therapy for the suffering is alive — we think that singing and dancing is as much again today a new way to exorcise demons,’’ he said.
Canzionere is among more than 400 performers to appear at the 23rd WOMADelaide, including traditional and contemporary musicians, artists, dancers and thinkers from around the world.
This year’s program, on seven stages, will engage audiences with street theatre, visual artists, a cooking program and environmental discussions.
Festival director Ian Scobie expected near-record, 80,000-strong daily attendances, with Adelaide’s weather forecast to be in the mid-20s over the long weekend.
Scobie said that the festival would feature an extraordinary diversity of musical experiences from contemporary western singers Sinead O’Connor, Swedish rapper Neneh Cherry and Canada’s Rufus Wainwright to Mali-based maestro Toumani Diabate, Sengalese musician Youssou N’Dour and Cuba’s Orquesta Buena Vista.
Australian performers include desert reggae group the Tjintu Desert Band, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists the Painted Ladies and Brisbane’s Robert Forster among others.
Founded by musician Peter Gabriel in 1982, WOMAD expanded to Adelaide in 1992 and has become one of the biggest outdoor festivals on the Australian calendar.
