Officina Zoè [Italy]

Since the early ’90s, Officina Zoè is one of the most well-known Italian musical group for “pizzica tarantata”, an ancient rhythm from the Salento Area, exciting and touching, therapeutic and hilarious with a compelling hypnotic expression. Frenzy that induces dance and obsessive movement, “pizzica” was used in the past as a trance vehicle or even as a therapeutic source, one of the strongest elements in the musical rebirth of the whole of Southern Italy. Officina Zoè today pride themselves in taking part in the most important national and international music events. Thanks to Officina Zoè, the Pizzica dance has become popular in all the European capitals even before the “taranta-mania” boom.
