Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino

I play the violin and the tamburello frame drums.

Also, I'm the artistic director of a Italian, uh, world music or traditional music band called Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino.

I grew up inside the tradition of, uh, the music of my land, which nowadays is known as, uh, pizzica, a form of the Southern Italian tarantella.

Mauro Durante is someone I've known for a few years.
