This week, the Cloud Nine Train heads to Salento, the sun-soaked “heel” of Italy’s boot. 🌞
From Domenico Modugno’s “Volare” to modern stars like Dolcenera, Emma Marrone, Negramaro, and Boomdabash, discover how Salento shaped Italian music. We dive into the legend of pizzica as a healing dance, explore La Notte della Taranta Festival, and spotlight bands like Kalascima and Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino, blending roots with global sounds.
You’ll even hear how reggae found a surprising home in southern Italy with Sud Sound System. 🎶🌍
