Special music on the episode.

Intro music

Grido Nero means Black Shout (or shriek), by Improbabilband, featuring Michele Jamil Marzella and Giovanni Chiapparino. They blend the sounds of Puglia with the Mediterranean rhythms (from the Balkans to South Saharan Africa), also thanks to the magical voice of Gabin Dabirè. Also on this record: Giuseppe Muciaccia on clarinet, Maurizio Lampugnani on percussion and vocals, Domenico Lopez on Spanish guitar.

 

Outro music

I Fiori di Molfetta (Molfetta’s Flowers) is by the "Apulian Mandolin Academy" , an ensemble of soloists, all graduates from the mandolin school of the “N. Piccinni ”Consrvatory of Bari, The ensamble is directed by Maestros Mauro Squillante and Leonardo Lospalluti. The mandolin is a typical southern Italian instrument, and the Accademia of Puglia is one of a kind in keeping with this tradition. They have been touring Italy and Europe over the last 5 years.
