In this new episode of The Music Folder, we meet Valentina Magaletti — drummer, percussionist, composer — in a conversation with author Virginia W. Ricci.

The episode explores the physicality of drumming, its primal connection to the body, and its ancestral closeness to dance. Through her latest solo album A Queer Anthology of Drums, Magaletti opens a space for reimagining percussion beyond binary narratives, challenging the persistent association of drums with masculinity and affirming the instrument as a field of radical expression. We also delve into her many collaborative worlds, from the angular textures of Moin to cross-genre improvisations.
