It ends with a big party at the Trianon Viviani Saturday 30th April, at 21pm, the winter tour of “W who doesn't count for anything”, which brought the music of Eugenio Bennato around Italy and abroad and that two days before returning to Naples he stops in Cologne, Germany.
The Trianon Viviani, home of Neapolitan song, theater of the people, is the ideal place to welcome the master of popular music and his Taranta Power and it is here that Eugenio Bennato has chosen to present a live preview of the new single "Welcome to Napoli", the first extract from the new album to be released at the end of 2022, a song that speaks of Naples as a city of hospitality, respect and valorization of diversity. Eugenio's voice has always been synonymous with peace, sharing of cultures, respect for diversity, brotherhood between peoples.
Eugenio (vocals, classical guitar, mandola, chitarra battente) will be accompanied on stage, in addition to the historic Taranta Power formation, by a part of the vocal ensemble Le Voci del Sud.
With him, Ezio Lambiase (classical guitar and electric guitar), Mujura (acoustic guitar and bass), Sonia Totaro (voice and dance), Francesca Del Duca (voice and percussion) and Le Voci del Sud Laura Cuomo, Francesco Luongo, Angelo Plaitano and Daniela Dentato.
A great visual impact to convey energy and confidence to the audience that returns to experience a live concert after the many limitations of past years. A new live, with songs written in recent times, that join the stories that Eugenio has always told to his audience.
The new works are inspired by the very current themes of integration and valorization of Mediterranean and Southern identities, the fight against prevailing globalization, migrations and the fears of the rich West.
