Ciao!
I'm Mauro Durante, from Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino. We are looking forward to meeting you at the Womex!
We will be available at Puglia Sounds stand, number I.06. Please feel free to schedule a meeting with us.
Here are some video links of our live shows. Our kind of music is passional, obsessive and conducive to trance, owing to the fact that its main rhythmical actor is a local type of frame drum, the tamburello, which resounds like a never-stopping beating heart. The power of our music is at its highest during live shows, when the audience moves and dances to the rhythm.

CANZONIERE GRECANICO SALENTINO
The original brain child of the writer Rina Durante, Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino (Best Italian World Music Band - MEI 2010, Babel Med Music selection 2011) is the foremost and longest standing traditional music band from Salento, in Puglia, coming together in 1975.
In 2007 the lead passed from the original founder of the band, Daniele Durante, to his son Mauro (already a highly regarded frame drums player and violinist who has played with numerous artists, such as Ludovico Einaudi, Piers Faccini, Ballake Sissoko, Ibrahim Maalouf, Stewart Copeland and La Notte della Taranta). At the age of 26,of Ludovico Einaudi, Maestro Concertatore of La Notte della Taranta, and works with him in the creation and artistic production of that spectacular performance. Canzoniere open the Concertone of La Notte della Taranta in Melpignano, performing live in front of over 100.000 people.
With a range from the energetic pizzica pizzica, to the tenderness of songs of love and longing; from the festa like exuberance of a local band to an ironic glance towards modernity, Canzoniere provide an intense and atmospheric spectacle.
With the obsessive rhythms and music of Pizzica, the local dance, Canzoniere made the history of the Italian world music.
Canzoniere's live concerts are a life explosion: full of energy, passion, rhythm and mystery, they bring the audience from the past into modernity, and back.
With 16 albums and numerous performances in Europe, the Middle East and the USA, Canzoniere have always evoked an enthusiastic response from audiences and sensitively admiring reviews from the music press.
