In this episode of Sanctuary, host Rhiannon Giddens begins our journey into the ways that music serves us as a vital tool for healing and community.
Musician Mauro Durante introduces us to the pizzica, a centuries-old trance tradition from Southern Italy that began as a communal ritual to cure spider bites. Then, we look at how those same therapeutic practices apply today, from neurological music therapy at Northwestern University to music circles helping combat veterans process their PTSD through songwriting.
Featured Guests: Mauro Durante - Violinist and percussionist, Artistic Director of Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino
Massimiliano Morabito - Ethnomusicologist and organettista
Dr. Borna Bonakdarpour - Associate Professor of Neurology, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine
