Product Description In 2010, Ludovico Einaudi was invited to direct the orchestra of the La Notte Della Taranta festival in Salento, Italy. Embarking on a mission to reinvent traditional Salentine music, Einaudi invited a few fellow musicians to share in the adventure, including Ballake Sissoko, Justin Adams, Juldeh Camara, Mercan Dede, Redi Hasa and Mauro Durante. The resulting collaboration of these great musicians was a huge hit. Now available on vinyl, the Taranta Project is a tremendously exciting and innovative album, and Einaudi's superb arrangements breathe new life into an ancient tradition. Review A diverse, deeply engaging album. --4 Stars, Songlines Magazineits the Salentine stalwarts who most impress, whether its Durantes violin soloing on Choros...or CGSs great, gruff-voiced Giancarlo Paglialunga delivering a plaintive Ferma Zitella backed by Sissokos kora and Einaudis piano. --Rootsworld
