Even where speakers cannot reach, like the Piazza del Plebiscito, you will still hear Neapolitan classics like ‘O Sarracino and ‘O surdato nammurato from buskers or street performers.

There’s no way we’d be able to capture the vast lineage of Neapolitan music in a single effort, but we’ve done our best to distil the essence of the city. From the serenading ballads of Antonio Sorrentino and Mario Merola, to the world-renowned classics of Renato Carosone, to the Italo Disco floor fillers like Cerrone’s Supernature and Pino D’Angio’s Ma quale idea, to today’s rediscovery of underground classics, a movement led by trailblazing duo Nu Genea – our playlist breezes through the history of Neapolitan music.

Accompany with un caffe (con zucchero, of course).
