Miguel Ángel Berna, the top advocate of reviving Aragon’s jota (a folklore dance with live music and song), and Manuela Adamo, an expert in the traditions of Taranta (spider) dancing in southern Italy, take you on a journey through the deepest emotions of the human being via music that belongs to the two lands of Salento and Aragon.
