Sumptuous:
One of the most powerul albums I've ever heard. At times strange, at times tear jerking beautiful. I was living in Italy when I first heard this and this album was the most powerful thing of the time (1982). It doesn't stand together as an album in the way that you would like; you wouldn't put it on for dinner, lovemaking, or partying: its tracks are too diverse. But for just plain beautiful and very different and bold music making its stellar. Hats off to the record company that put this one out, its a classic. By the way if anyone knows where I can get my hands on the lyrics to this masterpiece please email me at bondzinho@hotmail.com. Thanks.
Naples is... Pino:
I've been a fan of Pino since when I was a child. This album is his first album (it's of 1977.. Pino was 22), and one of his masterpieces. How to mix traditional napolitean music with blues, jazz, funky? Here comes the answer... hear this album... you won't be disappointed. The entire album is a beautiful homage to Naples (the title of the album means "my soil"). All the songs are in "Napoletano" the dialect of Naples, but doesn't matter if you can't understand a word of the lyrics... what's important is that you can feel the love for Naples and his music... listening to this album is like to travel: listen to "suonno d'ajere" (yesterday dream)... now you're in Naples!
A Modern Neapolitan Classic:
Early career piece, of one of the best current Italian Artists. Mixes the traditional sounds of Napoli with the Mediterrean world.
The beginning of it all....Napoli:
From 1977, this is Pino's first solo album. This is where it all began. On this album Pino is still exploring his Neapolitan roots. Sure, there's mandolines, but not those boring ones playing Santa Lucia for the zillionst time. This is the pure and proud music of a proud people, the Neapolitan. Pino's ode to the city (Napule e) has been voted hist best song recently by fans. It can be found on this album. Other stand out tracks are 'Suonno d'Ajere', 'Saglie Saglie' and 'Terra Mia'. These songs make you feel like you are walking through Spacca Napoli (the most beautiful part of the city), feeling strangely at home. This is the true Neapolitan Pino Daniele album; after this he started to mix in other influences (jazz, blues, pop, latin, samba). I'm not saying that he lost it after this one (NOT AT ALL), but this is the one showing where he's coming from.
