At the Institut français, singing the History of Naples

2624
I canti della nostra storia

Of course, there are different ways to tell the life of a city. One of the most original, will take shape, color and sound, tomorrow, Tuesday, June 30, from 19, at the Institut français of Naples in via Crispi 86, which on this occasion will host “The songs of our history”.

An unusual concert, born out of love, work of a spontaneous company, made up of doctors, lawyers and veterinarians, which will join a narrator. With music and words tell Naples: from the Aragonese domination to the American occupation. The washerwomen of Vomero claim the piece of land promised by the King and then denied (Chorus of the washerwomen of Vomero) pain of Isabella of Lorraine defrauded the Kingdom (Complaint Donna Sabella). And, then, the Viceroy with its riots, one against bakers become tax collectors (In jail them bakers) and that of Thomas Aniello of Amalfi (Madonna of lu Carmene) ended in tragedy (Passacaglia for Masaniello). The revolution of 1799, the Court of Enlightenment (The Serpa Carolina), blood, Lazzari dating from Calabria in the retinue of Cardinal Ruffo (Song of Carmagnola).

And then the Risorgimento, the riots of ‘48 (Palummella zompa and flies), Garibaldi overlooking from the balcony of Palazzo Doria d’Angri: become Italian (Italiella).

We become Italian? (‘O Rre). Not so for those who resist, who remain loyal to the Bourbons. Not so for the robbers (Song of Brigante, Vulesse addiventare nu robber). And the history continues. Anonymous emigrants mourn Sacco and Vanzetti (Lacreme and cundannate). Until the Second World War: the destruction and rebirth (He saw the animal and Tammurriata black).

On stage, Mariella La Rosa (vocals and guitar), Anthonino Anastasia (percussion frame), Massimo Petti (flutes), Vincenzo Minuto (percussion), Corrado Velonà (vocals and guitar) and Gennaro Piccirillo (narrator).
