Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino

Italian septet Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino specialises in a rhythmic and often trance-like folk music associated with a frenzied folk dance which is said to cure victims of tarantula bites. While the rhythms are often feverish, their haunting songs are built around the insistent pounding of the tamburello frame drum over layers of violin, bouzouki, bagpipes and accordion. (Recorded at Brooklands Park, New Plymouth by Radio New Zealand)
