TARANTATA: Dance of the Ancient Spider
Alessandra Belloni
SOUNDS TRUE
STA MM00117D
2000
The mystical-erotic trance rituals of southern Italy...haunting prayers to the Black Madonna and the Goddess of the Mediterranean...the breathtaking love songs of its storied islands - from the dawn of Italy's magical-spiritual song tradition comes Alessandra Belloni's new release, TARANTATA: Dance of the Ancient Spider. With her soaring mezzo-soprano and mesmerizing tambourine rhythms, Alessandra casts a spellbinding web of sensuality spun from the tarantella-the ecstatic rites used to cure young women of a mysterious affliction known as "the bite of the ancient spider."
