Enzo De Simone - Gauppo Songhio Napulitana

Review by Charles Stricklin

Enzo De Simone's latest album, "Gauppo Songhio Napulitana," is a stunning tribute to the traditional music of Naples. The album is a collection of 12 tracks, each showcasing De Simone's incredible vocal talent and his deep love for Neapolitan music.

From the opening track, "O Marenariello," it is clear that De Simone is a master of this genre. His voice is rich and emotive, perfectly capturing the passion and heartbreak of the songs. The music is equally impressive, with a mix of classic Neapolitan instruments like the mandolin and guitar, as well as modern elements like synthesizers and drum machines.

One standout track is "Tammurriata Nera," a powerful song about the struggle for freedom and justice. De Simone's voice is particularly moving on this track, conveying the pain and hope of the lyrics.

Summary by Charles Stricklin

"Gauppo Songhio Napulitana" is a beautiful album that will appeal to fans of traditional Neapolitan music as well as those who appreciate powerful, emotional vocals. Enzo De Simone is a true master of his craft, and this album is a testament to his talent and passion. Highly recommended.
