A tour (necessarily not exhaustive) of the extraordinary Neapolitan musical heritage.
Alan Sorrenti Dicitencello vuje
And, if we want to admit it, the fact is that, in Naples, no one has ever recorded a "Liege & Lief."
I mean, no one has ever seriously considered following a path that infused rock into the musical heritage of popular tradition. In short, no Fairport Convention in Campania!
It's not strange: between the twilight of the '60s and the first half of the '70s, "popular music" was flirting with protest songs and political activism, and these were things taken very seriously. Only later, hybridizations and reinterpretations of all kinds would flourish. However, rock and Neapolitan song would always flirt very little.
What a shame!
This "dicitancello vuje" by Alan Sorrenti, who is no longer the one from "Aria" and not yet the one from "Figli delle stelle," is - in my opinion - one of the best hybrids between Neapolitan song and electric sounds. Every time I listen to it, I regret the fact that no one has thought of composing a Neapolitan "Liege & Lief"!
(But not even a "Hangman's Beautiful Daughter"...)
