Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

An inventive and involving overhaul of the traditional Italian folk dance form, the taranta, which on the whole works well. The constants are the sounds of plaintive violin, muscular accordion and romantically yearning vocals. But as the album progresses, rock, dub and electronica elements enter the fray without ever taking over the show. Traditionalists won't have much time for it, but for anyone who enjoys Gotan Project's deconstructions of tango this should appeal.
