Naples rallied around its artist on the evening of December 28, when Clementino transformed the Palapartenope into a blaze of energy for the final leg of his Live Tour 2025. This concert event celebrated twenty years of his career with an unprecedented show, blending rap, songwriting, and stage performances in an innovative format that confirmed the rapper as one of the most accomplished showmen on the Italian scene.
Before a delirious audience, the "Iena White" traversed her entire artistic output, bringing to the stage the songs from "Grande Anima" (Epic Records Italy/Sony Music Italy), her latest recording project, characterized by a more intimate, singer-songwriter feel. An album born from a journey that blends spirituality, words, and performance, reinterpreted live with powerful and surprising arrangements thanks to a top-notch band.
A parade of special guests
Making the Neapolitan evening even more memorable were the guests who shared the stage with Clementino: Gigi D'Alessio, Rocco Hunt, Negrita, Settembre, and Ugo Crepa. These collaborations, eagerly anticipated by fans, created unique moments, demonstrating the Neapolitan rapper's artistic versatility and his ability to connect across genres and generations.
The show featured an exceptional lineup: PJ Gionson on the decks, Greg Rega on vocals, Francesco Varchetta on drums, Raffaele Salapete on guitar, Silvestro Saccomanno on keyboards, Luigi "Calmo" Ferrara on bass, Saverio Giuliano on saxophone, and Stella Manfredi on violin. Breakers Gino Rota and Salvatore Deflow, along with four dancers, completed the show's dynamic and engaging performance.
Closing the year in the city where he was born
For Clementino, this date represents much more than just a concert. Performing in his native Naples, among the people who have always followed and supported him, meant closing a circle in a special year marked by successes in music, albums, and television. The Grande Anima Live Tour concludes right where it all began, confirming the unbreakable bond between the artist and his city.
With a show curated down to the smallest detail, blending rap, live music, theater, and entertainment, the "Rapper Showman" confirms himself as one of the most authentic and innovative voices on the Italian music scene, capable of renewing himself without ever betraying his roots.
