NIGHT OF THE TARANTA,
FOR THE FIRST TIME LIVE ON RAI3

SCANDAL (PUGLIAPROMOTION):
“MELPIGNANO AUTHENTIC SOUL,
BRING PUGLIA TO THE WORLD”

“It is with great emotion and deep pride that we have presented today one of the most fascinating and deep-rooted cultural events of our land: the Concertone della Notte della Taranta 2024, broadcast live for the first time on Rai3, Saturday 24th August starting from 9.30pm thanks to the support of Pugliapromozione”, declared the general manager at the press conference Luke Scandal.

“La Taranta is an event that, for over two decades, has represented not only the beating heart of the Salento musical tradition, but also a beacon that illuminates the authentic soul of Puglia, bringing it to the world. Since the Notte della Taranta saw the light for the first time, in 1998, this event has become a symbol of the deep bond between our roots and the ability to evolve, renew, open up to the world without ever losing its identity. The pizzica, the ancient rhythm that infuses our popular music, has crossed the ages maintaining its energy and charm intact, to the point of becoming one of the pillars of tourism marketing in Puglia and, in particular, in Salento”, continued Luca Scandale.

“I have had the honor of bringing our music with Pugliapromozione – concluded the general director of the Regional Tourism Agency – over the years, to Buenos Aires, to the Dubai Expo, to Columbus Day in New York, to Moscow. These were not just concerts, but real cultural missions that showed the world the vitality and uniqueness of our music and our culture. I confess to you that tomorrow will be the first time in my life that I will see this great event live in Melpignano. Beyond the institutional role, I am here for a special reason. I would like to give a special greeting, precisely, to a woman who has been and continues to be the historic voice of this wonderful musical experience: Alessandra Caiulo”.
