Frame drums from Southern Italy

Emanuela Lodato
MABO - Lycée Maria-Boodschap - Rue de la Braie 22, 1000 Bruxelles

The traditional percussion of Southern Italy is done with frame drums of different sizes, with and without cymbals. During this course you will learn the different techniques and rhythms that are used to accompany traditional dance styles, such as zoals la pizzica pizzica, il ballo sul tamburo, la tarantella calabrese, la tarantella siciliana, etc. Beside the traditional styles we will discover other possibilities, such as mixed techniques that can be of use for solo’s and improvisation.

In this collective course no knowledge of music theory is required. For the first classes, an instrument can be provided by the teacher

Emanuela Lodato

She studies percussion with Massimo Laguardia and travels throughout Southern Italy to learn dances.

She currently lives in Brussels, where she continues to work as a musician (Nisia, Musicauta), dancer, teacher of dance and traditional percussion, and moderator of musical and theatrical workshops for children and adults; she also works with the association La Vita è Belga to organise courses, concerts and cultural events.
