Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Mediterraneo is a fascinating project designed to embody the notion that “the sea does not separate cultures, it connects them”.
Combining the early-music instruments of L'Arpeggiata with singers from the Mediterranean “olive frontier”, it takes as its starting point the songs historically sung by the Greek inhabitants of Salento in southern Italy, tracking their influence as it spreads out around the region.
The intriguing baroque textures of harp, theorbo and harpsichord find their equivalent in the rich harmonies that characterise the vocals of songs such as the canto Greco-Salentino “Are Mou Rindineddha”. Entertaining and educational, it should appeal equally to early-music buffs and world-music fans.
