The song "Jou Passu" (an Italian folk song) was performed by MUSICàNTICA. According to their website: "The pizzica tarantata, also known as pizzica pizzica has been used for many centuries as healing music in the ritual against the alleged bite of the tarantula spider. Today it is performed as a convivial dance. Jou Passu is one of the many songs of this repertoire."
