This album - The Anonymous Neapolitan is a continuation of Calandra's journey to Naples of old, that inexhaustible font of timeless stories, melodies and poetry. From its earliest origins, the Neapolitan canzona or song has been bound up with the life of the people of Naples and their innate desire to express their deepest feelings through song and poetry. This age-old melody has an innate, almost indescribable beauty, solidifying Calandra and Celentano's decision to feature it as an introduction to the song that's believed to be the oldest in the Neapolitan tradition, the 'Ritornello delle Lavandaie del Vomero' (Song of the Washerwomen of Vomero). Closing the CD is an authentic masterpiece of the Neapolitan dialect repertoire from the 18th century, 'Lo Guarracino', whose text describes various characters with abundant invention and sophistication.
