Pinch and Taranto
the pinch, as well as being played in times of celebration of individual households or entire communities, was also the main accompanying Rite etnocoreutico of tarantismo . Thereby, it was performed by orchestras composed of various instruments - including the emerging tambourine and violin for their rhythmic and melodic characteristics - in order to "exorcise " women tarantate and heal through dance music that frantic unleashed from their evil. The
pinches, played for days or even weeks for the treatment of tarantate, had often characteristics that differentiate it from that played for dancing. The "pinch tarantata " - made famous by the master recordings of violinist Luigi Stifani - or as some called it, the " tarantula" was in fact done with a rhythm generally more accelerated than the classic sound for the dance, and very often the key most popular ones were less able to "scazzicare" (ie stimulate ) tarantata more easily thanks to the redundant nature and the melancholy minor keys in fact possess.
Today tarantismo has completely disappeared, but there is the rediscovery of music and folk traditions (and particularly gender pinches, which led to a new definition of "neo-Taranto).
