Neapolitan songs
My father was Neapolitan and loved his hometown very much. During
the 20 years he spent working in the North of Italy, he always
wanted to get back to Naples. And he finally succeeded in 1972.
I was already in Bologna with Claudia (we got married in 1973) and
did not follow him as the rest of my family did.
Yet I spent most of my childhood summer holidays in Naples and love
so much the city and its culture.
So I decided to record a selection of songs (the Neapolitan songs
are the most ancient and best known Italian songs) among my repertory of
about 60 Neapolitan songs.
15 songs are also available in YouTube in three different
videos:

La Posteggia
The "posteggiatori" were Neapolitan street musicians (the
"Posteggia" became very popular in the 19th century) who performed
traditional songs accompanied by traditional instruments (guitar and
mandolin).
I recorded some Neapolitan songs using the same type of
instrumentation.
I hope you like them.

Floridiana
"Floridiana" is a large and beautiful park on the slopes of the
Vomero hill in Naples.
It is a mythical place of my childhood and, in the early 1960s,
in that park I attended a Neapolitan song festival.
I therefore performed six Neapolitan songs (using the traditional
Neapolitan instruments, guitar and mandoline) imagining to hold a
concert in the Floridiana park.
- Dicitenciello
vuje (Enzo Fusco / Rodolfo Falvo)
- Dduje paravise
(Ciro Parente / E.A. Mario)
- 'Na sera 'e
maggio (Gigi Pisano / Giuseppe Cioffi)
- Voce 'e notte

- I' te vurria vasa'
(Vincenzo Russo / Eduardo Di Capua / Alfredo Mazzucchi)
- Malafemmena
(Antonio De Curtis)
