SCIALACORE
ORIZZONTI MOSSI
In the spring of 2020, Scialacore emerged as a folk music trio with a mission to explore the rich tapestry of the Mediterranean. Their approach to this musical journey is intimate, attentive, and pulsating with rhythm and conviviality. The live experience becomes a captivating odyssey that interlaces various musical influences, leading the audience through an enchanting imaginary landscape. The musical repertoire ventures into the diverse corners of the Mediterranean, spanning Naples and Campania, Central Italy, the Pollino region, and Salento. From sixteenth-century Neapolitan villanelle to Greek rebetiko, and to the Sephardic tradition, Scialacore paints vivid musical scenes, capturing the essence of both their Southern roots and those of other cultures.”Marenostrum” – the sea – remains a symbolic space of crossings. The project’s name is derived from letters penned by Pliny the Younger to the historian Tacitus, collected in Neapolitan in the book “Comme s’arricettaie zizìo.” It is encapsulated in the word “godimento,” signifying the joy of shared participation and mutual appreciation found in the pleasure, delight, and fulfillment of musical expression. This concept forms the thread weaving through the trio’s repertoire, encompassing passionate songs and dances, expressions of love, movement, and the
rhythms of labor from the vibrant hearts of diverse cultures worldwide.
