Music as the "key" to breaking down barriers and creating unity. This is the goal of the project "Passpartù – la musica apre al mondo," a free music festival taking place on September 12th and 13th at the French Institute of Naples – Palazzo Grenoble (Via Francesco Crispi, 86). The event celebrates Naples as a meeting place for diverse sounds from around the world.
A Project of Inclusion and Aggregation
Promoted and financed by the Municipality of Naples as part of the “Napoli Città della Musica” project, the event is organized by the communications agency Nikura Srl, in collaboration with the record label Octopus Records. The artistic direction is curated by Giuseppe Fontanella, musician of 24 Grana.
The Headquarters and Partners of the Festival
The event sees as partners the Cooperativa Sociale Dedalus, active for decades on the themes of inclusion, and the French Institute of Naples - Palazzo Grenoble, a prestigious venue for cultural events and manifestations. The choice of this location is not accidental, since all the artistic proposals of the Passpartù Project are connected by a fil rouge of French inspiration and international mix of genres and sounds.
The Artists in Performance
During the two days of the festival, five artists will perform:
– Gerardo Balestrieri: A singer-songwriter who has explored disparate sounds, from Greece to France, to Arab culture.

– A Smile from Godzilla: An emerging English-speaking folk rock band.
– Federa: The musical project of the Neapolitan singer-songwriter Federica Vezzo, who alternates acoustic and modern sounds contaminated by soul, r&b, and Italian and dialect songwriting.
Collateral Activities
In addition to the concerts, the festival also includes a performance by the Intercultural Music Laboratory and an intercultural music workshop. This workshop will offer young people between the ages of 12 and 22, from various geographical areas, the opportunity to explore new sounds, rhythms and words. The initiative aims to highlight the importance of music as a tool for inclusion and to promote cultural diversity through a rich and varied artistic offering.
