The Mediterranean is, and always has been, the most influential place for the exchange of culture and commerce.
The arts, crafts, ways of living, expressions and habits are similar as well as the dance and music. They have invisible threads that underlie the fusion of all the cultures surrounding this massive sea.
Danzeasud’s aim is to re-weave the thread and raise awareness of the relationships between Mediterranean musical cultures, focusing on Southern Italian and Egyptian and Middle Eastern traditional music and dance.
