A tour (by necessity not exhaustive) through the extraordinary Neapolitan musical heritage.

Renato Carosone-O Pellirossa

If Murolo is the source, Carosone is the last bend of the river.
With Carosone, the "golden age" of Neapolitan song comes to a close. Carosone is the last of the "classics" (no one would be surprised to find a "caravan petrol" alongside a "fenesta vascia" or a "core 'ngrato"). After him, there were excellent interpreters and some beautiful songs, but no "classic" (some might say Pino Daniele? Let's not joke! I'll share what I think about Daniele - if anyone is interested - in the continuation of this little review).
And he was also a great innovator!
His swing does not simply juxtapose or add to the Mediterranean melodicism but integrates in an original and very personal way. Carosone resembles no one, and no one will ever resemble Carosone again.
But we must never underestimate the contribution of the musicians in his band. Carosone brought to the stage a wonderfully oiled and perfectly calibrated music machine; first-rate musicians capable of unique performances - not just for their time! - foremost among them is that Gegè Di Giacomo, a drummer of European level who in this video is also a singer, the true pulsating heart of one of the most important bands in our country.
