siciliancunningcraft: The Tamburello The tamburello is a traditional frame drum of Southern Italy and Sicily. This ancient drum has it’s origins within the original Italic tribes and is the key instrument of traditional folk rhythms such as the tarantella and the pizzica. But before the tamburello became iconic in Southern Italian folk music it was a tool of great shamanic importance, for it was the beat of the tamburello that inspired ecstatic trance as it was played through the night to heal the sick and to call forth the spirits. This sacred drum is one of the most powerful symbols and expressions of culture and spirituality in the Mezzogiorno. S'abbinirica! -- source link
