Justin Adams, Mauro Durante & Mohamed Errebbaa
This collaboration between guitar virtuoso Justin Adams, Canzoniere Grecanico violinist and percussionist Salentino and Mauro Durante, stems from a concert directed by Ludovico Einaudi, the Notte della Taranta in Puglia, where the two played together for the first time, recognizing similar spirits in the trance-like rhythms of the Taranta. Together, they create a raw, stripped-down sound that moves and hypnotizes.

Renowned guitar virtuoso, producer, and composer, Justin Adams, has been a chief collaborator with Robert Plant in his band, the Sensational Spaceshifters, co-writing a series of four albums and touring the world. His production on landmark albums by Tinariwen and Rachid Taha highlights his feel for the North African groove, while his award-winning projects with Gambian maestro Juldeh Camara linked griot tradition with raw blues spirit. His recent solo album of guitar atmospherics, Ribbons, was cited among the top 50 albums of the past decade by Songlines magazine.
In the past, explains Mauro Durante, "the pizzica was played on the tambourine and violin to cure people who, bitten by a tarantula, fell into a state of lethargy - women in the majority of cases, victims of the spiders while harvesting tobacco leaves. Making them dance to the frantic rhythm of the pizzica, until they fell from exhaustion, brought them back to life.
