The tamburrello & the double

Back / Forward

 

The rhythmical phrasing of tamburello is a kind of a dual interwoven

of complementary opposites. the alternation of binary and ternary

rhitms produces the socalled " ritual ambiguity" and rappresents

the conflictual dimension of struggle. From the structural

point of view, the "tamburello" symbolizes duality too.

It seems to join two different ancient cultures: on one hand the

mediterranean one with the picture of Dionysus, who is the god

of simultaneous presence of opposites; on the other hand, the

Germanic and Celtic one, with the symbol of swastika.
