La Notte della Taranta is the most important music festival dedicated to the pinch of Salento Salento. Founded in 1998 by an initiative launched by the Institute Carpitella Diego (which is to study and enhance the artistic and cultural heritage of Salento, supported by several local promoters) and the municipalities of Greek Salento (composed by the union of municipalities: Castrignano of the Greeks, Carpignano Salentino, Corigliano d'Otranto, Calimera, Cutrofiano, Martha, Martignano Sternatia, Melpignano, Soleto and Zollino).
The aim of the Festival "La Notte della Taranta" is to recover this ancient language of music through the merger and the contamination of other musical forms like jazz, symphonic music and the wide world of rock. For this reason, every year, especially during the evenings and on the stage of final concertone Melpignano, we can see a Ensamble of representatives of different musical genres, meeting in a metamorphosis of sounds.
The Pinch was born as a cure that would heal the bite of a poisonous spider imagery, the tarantula. Tradition says that in order to free the victim (a woman) from the suffering caused by the bite of the dangerous spider, had to play a ritmo vorticoso i tamburelli, fino a quando il dolore immaginario spariva. La vittima per consumare il veleno presente nel sangue, doveva ballare ossessivamente al ritmo dei tamburelli.
Il Festival della Notte della Taranta, è un evento itinerante che si ripete ogni anno nei Comuni della Grecìa Salentina insieme ad altri comuni vicini, nei quali si esibiscono i più importanti gruppi del panorama tradizionale salentino. L’evento finale che chiude il Festival della Notte della Taranta avviene nella “notte” (da cui l’evento prende il nome) a Melpignano nello splendido scenario del piazzale dell’ex Convento degli Agostiniani.
