Music for dancing

Cantori di Carpino
Tarantella del Gargano

The Tarantella of Carpino is a form of tarantella music with an extraordinary contemporary feel that surpasses the pure roots of the traditional folk dance and is coloured by sublime forms of poetry and song. Brought to popular acclaim by two elderly vocalists, Antonio Maccarone and Antonio Piccininno, the legendary group Cantori di Carpino, have firmly tied the name of the small village of Carpino in southern Italy to the rebirth of traditional popular music.

Vocals and castanets: Antonio Piccininno
Vocals and French guitar: Antonio Maccarone
French guitar: Michele Basanisi
Dance and Tammorra (frame drum): Giuseppe Draicchio
Rhythm guitar and Tammorra: Nicola Gentile
Acoustic guitar: Giuseppe Di Mauro
Rhythm and Acoustic guitar: Antonio Manzo
