DESCRIPTION:Internationally renowned Italian percussionist Alessandra Bello
 ni (a Remo artist) presents: Daughters of Cybele\, Women Drummers for Worl
 d Peace featuring Southern Italian ritual drumming and chants in honor of 
 the Black Madonna and the women healing trance dance Pizzica Tarantata.\n
 \nIn celebration of over 30 years of the Italian Music and Dance Company I
  Giullari di Piazza (the Players of the Square)\, Alessandra Belloni has a
 ssembled this unique ensemble of women using voice\, percussion and ritual
  dance to honor the healing power of female energy.  Countries around the 
 world\, including Southern Italy\, Brazil\, Africa and the Middle East hav
 e musical traditions based on the power of women.  Belloni and company emu
 late one of the most ancient ways of praying and healing\, including sacre
 d chanting to the Black Madonna sung by female voices in harmony\, accompa
 nied by various percussion instruments (frame drums\, tambourines\, shaker
 s\, djembes\, ballaphones\, dumbecks\, riqqs\, mazhars\, and marimbas).\n
 \nWith Daughters of Cybele\, Alessandra Belloni carries on the tradition o
 f Roman priestesses who played the tambourine in worship of Dionysus\, god
  of ecstasy and wine\, and the Earth goddess Cybele.\n\nBelloni states\, '
 Now\, more than ever\, it is important to bring attention to the healing e
 ffect of drumming and dance on women who have been abused. Women in Italy 
 now are going through a very difficult time with rape and abuse becoming m
 ore popular and almost accepted by society.'  With this concert about the 
 cycles of womens' lives\, she wishes to bring awareness on this current si
 tuation\, and to send healing to the women who have been victims in Italy 
 and around the world.\n\n'It was as if the crowd had been transported to a
  secret clearing somewhere in the Piemonte to witness some wonderfully obs
 cure\, mystical ritual. Alternating between high\, eerie incantations and 
 earthy folk melodies\, and playing a small museum's worth of percussion in
 struments\, they wove a sonic web.' --Lucid Culture Blog\n\nCost: $10.00\n
