Tarantolati di Tricarico
Andamenare (CNI)
This 1996 recording is from one of the older groups of the new taranta scene in southern Italy. Led by painter, poet, architect, theater director, anthropologist, guitarist, singer, and songwriter Antonio Infantino, they merge the raw percussive and male vocal energy of the traditional music with guitars, keyboards and other instruments, without ever losing sight of the main point of the music, to create a mood of social ecstasy. This band has been at the forefront of the taranta and politcal song movement in southern Italy since the 1960s. They've still got it!
