Many local newspapers have given prominence to this first event in the history of this ancient instrument that has "caught" later became "popular" as the same ethnomusicologist Antonio Ricci said in a presentation of the evening. Evenings were very beautiful and interesting from many points of view.

Thanks to the coordinator of the event, Cataldo Perri, we got to know many guitar players swing that showed their art, their technique, their music. We've got to to meet in person the great artists in the area as Turuzzu Cariati, Salvatore Megna of Papanice, Francesco turreted Cutro, cousins \u200b\u200bNigro whose reputation was only because the record company.

E 'was a human experience, made up of emotions, natural complicity without any competition, absolute respect for the diversity of tradition and innovation.

The invitation is addressed to all the players che hanno partecipato a questa esperienza è quello di esprimere anche loro con poche parole le impressioni, le emozioni, i loro vissuti.

Affinchè questa esperienza non vada perduta ma anzi si ingrandisca e permetta di organizzarla per la prossima estate ci farebbe piacere che i tanti battentisti che non sono riusciti a partecipare quest anno diano la loro voce per migliorare l'evento futuro. Inoltre stiamo organizzando un DVD da presentare questo inverno a Roma, con tutti i battentisti che hanno partecipato a questa manifastazione per lanciare la rassegna battente estate 2009. Un caloroso saluto a tutti.
