The tradition
Calabrian tarantella, known in Italian as tarantella calabrese, is a generic term to include different musical-dancing expressions spread in Calabrian peninsula and different from other southern Italian dances called simply tarantella. It is played and danced during religious festivals and other social occasions. In recent times the tradition has been revived as new groups are taking an interest in instruments which had been falling into obscurity; they played "ad usu anticu" (in the old/traditional way) or they modernised the sound adding a bassline or new sounds.¶
