As our planet is gradually welcoming the new year, we keep celebrating its arrival with tarantellas and pizzicas, the traditional and truly uplifting dances that come from neighbouring Italy. Today, we will be focusing on some of the most fascinating bands of new Italian folk, with an emphasis on Naples and beyond: Nuova Compagnia di Canto Popolare, I Calanti, Ars Nova Napoli, Aratos Taranta and Mediterranti.
