Launeddas
are used to play a complex style of music that has achieved some
international attention, especially
Dionigi Burranca,
Antonio Lara,
Luigi Lai
and
Efisio Melis; Burranca, like many of the most famous launedda musicians,
is from
Samatzai in
Cagliari. An ancient
instrument, dating back to at least the 8th century BC, launeddas are still
played during religious ceremonies and dances (su ballu).
Distinctively, they are played using extensive variations on a few melodic
phrases, and a single song can last over an hour. Traditional guitar music
is also found in Sardinia, represented by performers like Nino Cau; this
genre is especially well-known in the northwest region of
Sassari. Traditional
dances include tundu,
passu torrau,
durdurinu, dillu,
logudoresa,
arroxiada,
passu e trese, and
campidanesa
Aside from the launeddas, traditional instruments
include benas,
organittu,
ghitterra,
tamburrinos.
