"Napule Nà"

This is the 4th album by Gaetano D'Angelo, and can be defined his "maturity album".

Songs are in quite different moods, from the happy, yet nostalgic tarantella "Napule Nà",

a new classic in Neapolitan song , to the intimate "Sienteme (Listen to me)" interpreted in two voices, to the passionate "Turmiente (Torments) " and "Com'eri bella tu (How beautiful you were)", to the "teasing songs" like " 'Na femmena strana (A strange woman)" and "Se ti amava (If he loved you)", to songs that face social themes, like the anti-war "'Na guerra 'e niente (A war for nothing)", the social landscape of "Juorne (Day)" and "Notte (Night)", the happy nostalgia of "I vecchi autori (The old authors)".

Gaetano is tradition of Neapolitan music, expressed with the end of the century language, that nostalgic mood that can be found in all Neapolitan classic songs which blends with happiness, irony and musicality, typical of the Neapolitan feelings.

Free from the shadow of his more famous same name cousin Nino, Gaetano D'Angelo is a telented author, many of his songs having been interpreted and brought to success by other big names in contemporary popular Neapolitan music, such as Mauro Nardi and Pino Mauro, and by a great number of young singers who have often re-interpreted his best songs in their musicassettes.

It is certainly difficult today to hit the crowded market of recorded music, music is everywhere around us and often it slides over us without leaving traces: but if you listen to the songs written and sung by Gaetano, you'll feel them inside, touching your deepest sensations.

In a moment of popularity of the "world music" and ethnic music, this is our own "ethnic music" , the roots of our mediterranean musicality that express themselves through a spontaneous talent and self-taught man as Gaetano D'Angelo, the contemporary interpreter of the Neapolitan heritage.

The album "Napule Nà" is quite peculiar also in its sleeve which shows an unusual and fascinating image created by the famous neapolitan photographer Guido Giannini, is available on Compact Disc and Musicassette, released on the brave independent label Bumshiva Music by Luigi Fedele, and available only directly by the same record Company.
