 DOA - Tarantella - Esqueletos
Tarantella comes from a long line of dark Denver Americana, sharing a hometown with the likes of Sixteen Horsepower, Jay Munly, Slim Cessna's Auto Club (at one point), and Devotchka.
The instrumentation is familiar: the stark and haunting violin, the solid double bass, the twang of a (somehow) ethereal banjo.
Tarantella's debut album, Esqueletos, contains a lot of the typical country-gothic flavoring that would be expected from the artists' homestead, yet it is something uniquely its own, bringing a sliver of Argentina to the mix courtesy of vocalist Kal Cahoone, who pieced the band together after returning from a lengthy stay in South America.

 Antonello Paliotti Trio : Tarantella Storta
We know from the very popular iconography related to the tarantella, that it was basically executed by a violin and a colascione, playing the bass.
These two instruments would usually accompany one or more couples of dancers provided with castanets; the number of variants is infinite: there exists a simple tarantella, and a complicated one, danced by two women or two femminielli (transvestites) added to a man and a woman, keeping up the strong sexual element of the game.
Therefore, it is necessary today to break totally with the XIXth century, and to recover, at least, the flavour of this music*, exalting and going deeper in its peculiar aspects, asymmetrical and apparently illogical, to the detriment of those overpolished and puritan of a bourgeois mentality, let's say it openly.
