Canti dei Trainieri e Pizzica

Fifth stage of the VivinPuglia 2019 tour, conceived by PizzicArte and Danza passing you. At Santa Barbara di Galatina. From 17:30

Place for excellence, priority point of reference of the History of Tarantism is Galatina and all its secrets.

In an area adjacent to the town, we will immerse ourselves in a surreal scenario for those who have never been able to hear who really sang and sing in the fields during their daily work.

The story is about women who went to the chapel of Santu Paolu around Galatina in the 1950s to receive the grace and hope of a speedy recovery.
The trainiers acted as shuttles to lead the ladies from their village to the city of Galatina.

Salvatore Rolli, nephew of Trainieri and Contadino, with Jonica Popolare, will give us stories, songs and stories never heard before.
Lu passu caminatu and the pizzica of Galatina are deepened with Anna Donadei in a traditional guise of this Land now conquered by the purely commercial aspects.
