About this event

ABBENTU - Music and Roots That Dance Again, from South Italy to Liverpool Prepare to be curious, excited, and a bit enchanted! Join us for a unique celebration of Southern Italian culture as the Abbentu group from Calabria brings live performance and workshops to Liverpool. Experience the magic of tradition meeting modernity through music, dance, and ancestral rhythms that have echoed through generations. 'Abbentu' is a word echoing from south Italian dialects, carrying a dual meaning: waiting and truce. With Abbentu, tradition takes on voice and movement: every note is an ancestral call, every rhythm an invitation to dance, every performance a meeting point between memory and modernity. The repertoire ranges from pizziche, to tammuriate and tarantelle, bringing Southern heritage into a new, accessible, and emotionally rich dimension. The Abbentu project isn't just a dance; it's a story, a rhythm, a cultural spark! Step into Southern Italy for an afternoon, experience the dance that once cured a spider bite and a whirlwind of rhythm, passion, and tradition. Whether you join the workshops or simply watch the performance, no experience is needed, just your enthusiasm!
