Stewart Copeland, the legendary former drummer of The Police, brings you a captivating live experience with "La notte della Taranta." Recorded on August 17, 2003, in Melpignano, Italy, this album captures the essence of the traditional Italian folk music festival, La Notte della Taranta. With a runtime of 40 minutes, the album features seven tracks, including "Pizzica degli Ucci," "Menamenamò," and "Santu Paulu," showcasing the vibrant and rhythmic Pizzica music that left Copeland "folgorato" (stunned) by its power.
This live album is a testament to Copeland's ability to blend his rock roots with traditional folk music, creating a unique and engaging soundscape. The ensemble includes notable artists like Raiz, Teresa De Sio, and Radiodervish, adding depth and variety to the performance. The album was released under Ponderosa Music & Art and is a must-experience for fans of world music, folk, and Copeland's distinctive style.
