MEDEA'S VISION - Teatro Bellini - NAPOLI - (Live Integral)

La Tarantella del Gargano is a traditional Italian love song in dialect, written in 1966 in Carpino, a village on the Gargano promontory, Foggia, Italy. Written by the ethnomusicologists Diego Carpitella and Roberto Leydi, in the framework of research started in 1954 by Alan Lomax and by the same Carpitella.

The song is a sonnet ( sunèttë ) in the form of a slow tarantella, in a minor key, known as « alla mundanarë« , that is to say « à la montagnarde », because it originated in the village of Monte Sant’Angelo.
The original version, known as « Accomë j’èja fa’ p’amà ‘sta donnë » (« What do I have to do to love this woman? »), was interpreted as a serenade by the old singers who took her through the streets and windows of the village with voice, chitarra battente, « French » guitar (the classical guitar) and tambourine.
