Bio
Founded in Apulia in 1975 by writer Rina Durante, the Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino is the first and most important group of Salento folk music. The fascinating dichotomy between tradition and modernity characterizes the music of CGS: the group reinterprets in a modern key the traditions revolving around the famous ritual pizzica tarantata, which had the power to cure through music, trance and dance the bite of the dreaded tarantula.
