Tammuriata Nera

Music and dances from Italian folkore

Musical genre: Balfolk, Italian Folk, World Music

Bailenga was born in 2020 out of the desire to take everywhere the Italian folk music and dance community dimension, with wild and ritual dances like pizzica and tarantella, and folk songs from Neapolitan café-chantants and Milanese taverns.
A journey all over Italian traditions guided by traditional music warmth and magic from Sicily to Occitan valleys, with a danceable and listening repertoire.

The term Bailenga comes from the union of the Spanish word baile
(dance) with balenga, a North Italian dialect term 
meaning “crazy, strange”. We like it because we believe that music and dance stimulate the expression of the most "crazy" sides of everyone, with which we can manifest freedom and creativity.

Bailenga is composed by
Elisa Guarraggi: Voice, guitar, frame drums, acting
Pietro Ariotti: Accordion, guitar
