NeaCo'
‘NeaCo’ is a delightful Italian septet that combines Neapolitan song with a global infusion of styles and influences in a unique and imaginative way. Their manifesto states, ‘the listener is taken on a journey across continents… from Europe to the Middle East, to Central Africa, to the North America of gospel, blues, jazz and funky, to the Central America of calypso, reggae, rumba, Afro-Cuban and down to the Argentine tango.” Since their founding in 2010, the band has gone through various iterations to its present form, as featured on its 2022 album, “Il Viaggio Di Neaco” (‘The Journey of Neaco’). Still led by original members, keyboardist/narrator Luigi Carbone and percussionist/vocalist Giovanni Imparato, the lineup also features guitars, horn/flute, violin & bass, with six out of seven members singing (in Italian) as well. An entertaining & unexpected treat.
