Dr Salvatore Rossano is from the region of Apulia, Italy. He composed Tarantella Dell’emigrante on the accordion while completing his National Folk Fellowship on Italian folk music at the National Library of Australia. This song is inspired by the stories and traditions of migrants from Calabria, and is dedicated to those who have left their homelands for a better life.
