SONGS OVER DRUMS

With Salvatore MECCIO and Massimo LAGUARDIA

Salvatore Meccio and Massimo Laguardia, originally from Sicily, carry the sounds and rhythms of their native land within. In 1992, they founded the group Tammorra, through which they express the vitality of the soul of the people, with songs accompanied by the ‘tammorre’ that they make themselves.

The tammorra and the tamburello are inseparable from traditional songs in Southern Italy, of which the most well-known are the tammuriata, the pizzica and the nursery rhymes of tarantella. This popular music, practiced by all generations, is very much alive.

The course teaches students to synchronise rhythm and song. Firstly, it covers the different drum techniques, then the tonal and rhythmic songs of Southern Italy, and, finally, the art of aligning the two in order to play both simultaneously.
