Tamburellisti di Torrepaduli

Tamburellisti di Torrepaduli is an Italian music ensemble renowned for their spirited and authentic interpretations of traditional pizzica and Taranta, music and dance forms native to the Salento region in southern Italy. Embracing a musical heritage that is deeply woven into the local culture and social fabric, the group's name pays homage to the town of Torrepaduli, a recognized center for the celebration of such folk dances, particularly during the annual feast of Saint Rocco.

Their repertoire, as evidenced by releases like "La via dell'armonia: pizzica d'autore," "Fantastica Pizzica," and "Il Tempo Della Taranta (Pizzica D'Autore)," showcases both the traditional elements of the genre and an innovative approach to composition and performance. The Tamburellisti di Torrepaduli have not only preserved the rich musical traditions of their region but have also played a significant role in the renaissance and global appreciation of pizzica, securing a place for the Taranta as a dynamic and evolving form of expression. Their work has a magnetic, rhythmic quality, driven by the tambourine's beat, embodying the essence of the dance's origin, which intertwines music, ritual, and healing.
