#3005: Music from Italy

New Sounds | May 24, 2010
This New Sounds program is devoted to music from Italy, featuring music from Enzo Avitabile using traditional percussion - that of barrels, scythes and sticks - to drive spirits away. We'll also listen to a requiem incorporating the accelerated ecstatic drumming of Alessandra Belloni, with its roots in pre-Christian music. Plus music by musician and radio host Nando Citarella with a sidelong glance at Mozart. And more.
