Ghetonia is an evocative music ensemble that draws its inspiration from the rich folk traditions of Southern Italy, particularly the region of Salento in Apulia. The name 'Ghetonia' itself is symbolic, derived from a Greek word meaning 'land' or 'earth', which captures the group's rootedness in their cultural soil. Known for their passionate and soulful interpretations of traditional music, Ghetonia infuses their songs with contemporary sensibilities, striking a balance between the old and the new.

Their music repertoire includes elements of the Tarantella—a traditional dance with a rapid tempo and rhythm, which is thought to cure the mythical tarantula's bite through its frenzied steps. The band's use of local dialects and traditional instruments, such as the tambourine, accordion, and violin, lend an authentic flavor to their sound. Albums like "Riza", "Terra e sale", and "Mari e lune a est del sud" showcase their commitment to preserving and celebrating the folklore and stories of their region while exploring themes of love, nature, and humanity. Ghetonia's ability to resonate with listeners through poignant melodies and heartfelt storytelling has secured them a place in the hearts of world music aficionados.
