MANAGER, ELETTRO MASCARIMIRI - MUSIC FOR DANCING
Elettro Mascarimirì - Music For Dancing is the new project of Mascarimiri - where Salento music changes its path.
From music for traditional parties it moves to much more innovative clubs and events, using the Sound System as a language for dancing, in the spirit of the circularity that binds "lu Tamburreddhu Salentino" (Salentino frame drum), Vinyl and the CD of nowdays.
The project born during the 2020 pandemic from the nostalgy of making people dance:
Claudio "Cavallo" Giagnotti decided to create his own music to play during his DJ live sets and parties organized by him, to release the free spirit of dance - this simply creating MUSIC FOR DANCING - an entire album of songs capable of making people dance on all longitudes.
