Parent Genre: R&B

Tarantella is a traditional Italian folk dance music genre that originated in the southern region of Italy. It is characterized by its fast-paced rhythm and lively melody, often played on traditional instruments such as tambourines, accordions, and mandolins. The music is said to have originated as a cure for the bite of the tarantula spider, with the frenzied dancing helping to expel the venom from the body. Today, contemporary artists continue to incorporate elements of tarantella into their music, keeping the tradition alive.
