The Night of Taranta 2018

Show Salento, Italy

The Notte della Taranta is a popular music festival that aims to enhance traditional Salento music through its revival and contamination with other musical languages. It takes place in the month of August, in an itinerant form in various squares of Salento, starting from Corigliano d'Otranto and culminating in the concert of Melpignano which sees the participation of musicians of national and international fame. Each edition of the final concert is entrusted to a "maestro concertatore" who has the task of arranging the traditional music of Salento, merging its rhythms with those of other musical traditions.
