The tarantella is an Italian folk dance, characterised by a fast and lively 6/8 rhythm, often accompanied by tambourines. This album presents thethree remaining forms of this ancient musical form: Pizzica-Taranta, Pizzica de core and Pizzica-scherma. Instruments: organetto (small accordion), chitarra battente (guitar), tambourine, violin, vocals. As the package notes ably explain, the tarantella has a long, centuries-old history that includes mass ecstatic trance dancing, originally to dispel the poison of a spider's bite. Eventually, these fast 6/8 meter dances of hysteria from Taranto spread and developed into set folk dances of which three forms remain. One of the ensembles dedicated to keep the tradition is the eight-member Arakne Mediterranea. Instrumentation are a small accordion, organetto, an Italian guitar citarra battente, a violin, and a tambourine.
