Pizzica lesson in Brindisi

Description

Pizzica is a traditional Apulian folk dance and music, originally conceived as a form of exorcism to free oneself from the bite of the tarantula spider, but over time it has also become a form of expression and celebration of popular culture.

Pizzica has ancient roots, dating back to the 16th century, and was mainly practiced in the rural areas of Puglia, especially during periods of religious festivals, such as the one dedicated to San Paolo on 29 June and that of Santa Domenica on 6 July.

Traditional instruments used to accompany the pizzica include the “tamburello” or “tamburello pizzica,” a frame drum with rattles inside, and the “chitarra battente,” an acoustic guitar typical of the Apulian folk tradition.

In recent decades, the pizzica has been re-evaluated and reinterpreted by contemporary artists, mixing with other musical genres and finding a wider audience. His presence has been reported at folk music and world music festivals around the world.

If you want to experience pizzica and discover the secrets of this art then take part in this fantastic experience.
Remember that pizzica goes beyond simple movements; it is a form of cultural expression that has profound meaning for the community that practices it.
