Neffa, her latest work all in Neapolitan to pay homage to her Campania origins: mother from Scafati, father from Naples
A desire cultivated for years and then became a record in Neapolitan. A way, that of Neffa, to pay homage to her Campanian origins: mother of Scafati (Salerno) and father of Naples.
Growing up in Bologna, “as a child they called me a southerner or a Moroccan and I didn’t understand, but when I discovered the artistic power of my origins, there was no one left to blame”.
Six years after his last album, “AmarAmmore” feat. Rocco Hunt is out today, April 2nd, preceded by the single “Aggio Perzo 'O Suonno” with Coez and produced by TY1.

"Naples has always been something unfinished: it's part of me, but I've never really been part of it. This is a way to close a circle," he explains to ANSA.
“AmarAmmore” is an album entirely sung in Neapolitan with various collaborations: from Coez to Livio Cori and Rocco Hunt. It starts from the influences of Renato Carosone passing through Roberto Murolo and Pino Daniele up to rap and trap.
“Over time, the false idea has been created that I despise rap and my past. That’s not the case at all,” Neffa explains, “it gave me so much and what I am today, I am also thanks to those experiences. Like everything that happens in life, even mistakes. I distanced myself from rap to do something else, it’s a rhythm that I still like even if I don’t really find myself with the lyrics: when I did it, the words had a different weight.”
