The record label says:
The title itself is rhythm, energy, tradition, deep Napolitan soul.
Vaffatica is Nando Citarella's new production, together with Tamburi del Vesuvio, excellent musicians and well known wonderful voices of Lucilla Galleazi and Maria Rosaria Omaggio.
Vaffaticą is rooted in Napolitan traditional music, with its many Mediterranean accents; it's a trip into the soul of Naples, because through the very elegant use of his deep knowledge of this musical history, Nando Citarella offers a very rich interpretation of both folk and classical napolitan songs, spanning from ritual rythms to napolitan traditional classical songs and to lirical expression of the same culture. Excellent result.
About the artist
NANDO CITARELLA & TAMBURI DEL VESUVIO
The Vesuvio volcano heartbeat pervades the sounds and rythms of popular dances and songs of Campania and southern Italy. For ages this fertile land has welcomed rythms from people coming from abroad, who crossed the "Mare Nostrum", and settled in southern Italy. Today the Vesuvio and its traditional drums leads the rhythm of ancient songs mixed with new interferences.
Nando Citarella, musician, researcher and performer of this tradition created a band of percusionnists, singers and dancers from different cultures and roots who give an archaic atmosphere to the vesuvian magma and its beating drums.
