Zimbaria is an Italian folk band hailing from the southern region of Italy, known for their vibrant and passionate interpretations of traditional Apulian music, particularly the genres of pizzica and taranta. These genres are deeply rooted in the historical and cultural fabric of Apulia, with pizzica often being linked to the ancient healing ritual of tarantism, where music was believed to cure the mythical bite of the tarantula. Zimbaria's music reflects the raw energy and rhythmic intensity of these traditional sounds, and they have built a reputation for their dynamic live performances that not only entertain but also educate audiences about southern Italian folklore.

Their recent works, such as "Tormento," and the live album "Live," showcase the group's commitment to bringing the essence of Apulia's musical heritage to the contemporary music scene. "Pizzica & Taranta (Live)" captures the essence of their live performances, offering listeners a taste of their powerful stage presence and the communal spirit that is central to their music. With "Pathos Taranta" and "Baciu 'nvelenatu," Zimbaria continues to explore the depths of traditional melodies and rhythms while infusing them with modern sensibilities, ensuring that the soul-stirring qualities of their region's music continue to resonate with new generations of listeners both in Italy and across the globe.
