A brief (and by necessity not exhaustive) tour through the extraordinary musical heritage of Naples.
Lina Sastri - Tarantella del Gargano (tratto dal DVD per la strada)

In 1953, Alan Lomax came to Italy and stayed for a year. I hope you know who Alan Lomax is (perhaps the foremost scholar of traditional music and song of the 20th century). Lomax particularly studied the musical traditions of the South, providing a fundamental boost to this type of research (not forgetting the writings of De Martino). Scholars like Carpitella, Leydi, and Sassu continued these studies.
What emerged is an extraordinary heritage of tarantellas, pizziche, tammurriate, and much more that are continuously performed and reinterpreted today; just think of the "notte della taranta."
This "Tarantella del Gargano," a mix of Neapolitan, Calabrian, and Foggian, is one of the most beautiful.
Here it is performed (magnificently, in my opinion) by Lina Sastri, who, at one point, established herself as one of the best interpreters of traditional Neapolitan music.
This small taste of one of her shows helps to understand why she is so loved in Naples.
