Join the Italian American Museum of Los Angeles and Italian Sons and Daughters of America (ISDA) on January 15 at 8 p.m. EST/5 p.m. PST for Tarantata: The Dance of the Ancient Spider, a virtual concert and interactive program featuring world-renowned percussionist, singer, dancer, and ethnomusicologist Alessandra Belloni.

Watch the live virtual concert, here:

Belloni has spent decades researching, performing, and preserving the rich traditions of Southern Italian folk rituals and culture. She is the artist in residence at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City, and the Author of the book Healing Journeys of the Black Madonna. The sacred songs, chants, dances, and rhythms that are part of Belloni’s performances—represent a syncretic mix of pagan and Catholic elements—and are believed to create a magical space for healing.
