The first Tarantella from Campania dates back to the 7th century, but only in the 1700s did it become very popular as a variation of the “Ballo di Sfessania” and of the “Ntrezzata.” Rhythm is 3/4 or 6/8, very lively and there are frequent hints to courtship movements. The song to this dance, Oi mamma ca mo vene is by Roberto de Simone.
Presented by Roberto Bagnoli in 2008. View pdf here.
