"O Sole mio," "Funiculì Funiculà"... the whole world hums Neapolitan songs.
Pino De Vittorio is one of the most passionate advocates for the rediscovery of this legendary musical tradition. Carrying on the legacy of Enrico Caruso from the early twentieth century, the Italian singer offers us a return to the fresh roots of this invigorating repertoire. As far back as the Renaissance, the people of Naples sang a wonderful repertoire of villanelles and tarantellas (whose fast rhythm, according to legend, alleviated the bite of the... tarantula!).
Accompanied by lutenist Bor Zuljan, a leading Baroque specialist, De Vittorio weaves together ancient and contemporary melodies to bring to life the distinctive tunes of the narrow streets in the working-class neighborhoods. See Naples and hear it!
