After its early release on the Japanese
market, the new album by Mario Maglione, "Napule è
'na canzona" is now released in Italy, too.
Exceptionally the album was released in Japan two months before
than in Italy, for having it available during the long tour
which has seen our Mario perform in 20 theatres in the main
Japanese towns, in a show titles "Viva Napoli", with
other big Neapolitan Artists such as AURELIO FIERRO, RITA RONDINELLA,
and the singer/"compàre" Junko Matsumoto, with
a group of expert Nepolitan musicians.
The personal success obtained by Mario Maglione in the concerts,
all in crowded theatres of over 2000 audience each, has been
an important promotional tool for the album, that has been reviewed
by most important music journalists in far-away Japan.
Now the album is released in Italy, on the independent label
Bumshiva Music: it contains 9 songs of the best Neapolitan music
tradition, some very famous as "Voce 'e notte", "Reginella",
"'Na sera 'e maggio", "Luna caprese", "Vierno",
"Chella llà", others more precious like "Uocchie
c'arraggiunate" and the title tune "Napule è
'na canzona", but above all three new compositions written
by Maglione himself, never before recorded and released: "Aria
'e mare", "Preghiera 'e pescatore", e "Fantasia".
Maglione's voice is accompanied by the peculiar guitar arrangements
of Gianni Palazzo, certainly a further reason of interest. Also
particularly impressiv is the graphic presentation of the CD,
with "art" photos of Neapolitan subjects. .
We hope that also in Italy this new "work" by Mario
Maglione, released four years after his previous album, will
get the same attention and success, indoubtadly reserved by
this "pupil" of the great Maestro Murolo, now bound
for an international success carrer.
In fact this new album has been introduced to international
record company executives during Midem in Cannes, and will be
released in several foreign countries, in Europe, South America,
Australia and Canada. |
