Local folk band "Jazzabanna" and dancers
This is a group of local musicians who are keen to preserve popular music traditions, particularly from the provinces of Taranto and Brindisi in addition to those of the Province of Lecce, These talented musicians play pizziche-pizziche, quadrilles, the tarantella, serenades, work songs and songs of faith. Pizzica dancing is still very popular among all ages as the tradition is passed down through the generations.
