It’s all about dancing, always has been, from tribal drums, mediaeval pipes or a frenzy of voices.. To sweaty pub back-rooms, banging nightclubs, free festivals & parties or anywhere there is a beat! Dance music embraces all of this history & Tarantism bring all of these influences into their songwriting & performance, weaving traditional instruments & styles with ska, punk, funk & dub. Along with contemporary lyrical content & imaginative arrangements this produces a unique mix of infectious dance rhythms & memorable tunes, real music that is fun & uplifting! In addition to the full Live band Tarantism also perform two other sets as: TARANTISM ACOUSTIC with traditional tunes & favourite songs for intimate venues or around the campfire. TARANTISM SOUND SYSTEM where digital beats & samples are mixed with live performance for dance events & clubs.
