Overlooking the Mediterranean, in the region of Salento, is born the pizzica pizzica, a traditional dance and song led by the drum, lu tamburreddhu. Tamburreddhu – Resistenza sonora Salentina depicts the fight to keep the Salento tamburreddhu alive, and to make clear its difference from the tamburello, a fake tourist object without history. The film features many of the most important Salentino musicians, playing in the traditional ‘uce e tamburreddhu’ (voice and drum) style, harking back to the melodies of the 1950s.
