The instrument typical of southern italian folk dances is Tamburello

typical of sicily folk music is:

i wonder if southern italian dances are similar to some greek or balkanic dances..
althought greeks dance more in group..
tammurriata, pizzica and calabrese tarantella are danced in couple

where is tamburello used outside italy? (apart in North Africa)
 
Interesting.. Tamburello styles of playing from different southern italian dances and Regions

 
folk song of Apulia, with typical Pizzica rythm

 
Is that Irish dance? Looks very impressive

 
the one you posted probably yes
 
where is tamburello used outside italy?

i don't know.. i think it was imported by arabs maybe.. but the rythm played with tamburello have an ancient pre roman origin, from baccanali, a thing shared with greece and south-east europe

@ julia90

Do you like Gabriella Ferri?

From which place in Italy is this song? Sicily ?

"Era la festa di San Gennaro,
quanta folla per la via...
Con Zazá, compagna mia,
me ne andai a passeggiá." (y)

Almost poetry

 
I like this Italian folk song very much. This is a true classic.

 
the first one is in neapolitan dialcet, the last one is a traditional partigian song.

The last is very famous.

i like them :)
