Thursday 30 January 2020 – Tarantella Frenzy
Amsterdam Klezmer Band with Vincenzo Acquaria Castellana (Sicily)

The Tarantella, a fast and frenzied dance, comes from southern Italy; it is one of the most well-known dances in the country. Its oldest form is called pizzica. The name is thought to come from the tarantula spider, whose deadly bite could be cured only by dancing wildly for hours. Could this be true? No spiders this evening… but you’ll dance till you drop!
