Notte della Taranta ("Taranta Night" in English) is a music festival in Salento, Apulia, Italy.[1][2]
Notte della Taranta in 2013
The Notte della Taranta is focused on pizzica, a popular folk genre in Salento, and takes place in various municipalities in the province of Lecce and the Grecìa Salentina, especially in Melpignano. It gives great importance to the folk music tradition of taranta and pizzica, and it is a resource for tourism in Apulia.
The festival tours around Salento, normally culminating in a grand finale concert in Melpignano in August, which lasts until late night. An average of 120,000 spectators attend the last concert every year. The festival started in 1998 by an initiative of several municipalities of the Salento, which sponsored the event. Every year a new musical director is chosen.
In 2015, Ludovico Einaudi released his album Taranta Project, inspired by his time directing the festival.[3]
The 2022 edition aired, also on Rai 1, on September 1 starting at 11:15 pm.[4] Maestro concertatore is Dardust, while Madame and Gino Castaldo host the evening. Guests include Elodie, Marco Mengoni, Samuele Bersani, Massimo Pericolo and Stromae.[5] The broadcast is watched by 426 thousand viewers.[6]
