Naples, the two-day “Vox Mundi” at Castel dell'Ovo

Naples, As part of the January cultural events promoted by the Municipality with the contribution of the Metropolitan City, the Sala Compagna of the Castel dell'Ovo will host a two-day event organized by the Performing Art Campania Association. Vox Mundi with Mimmo Maglionico and Pietrarsa e  Sfogliatelle and Other Love Stories with Lalla Esposito and Massimo Masiello.

January 28th at 20.30pm Mimmo Maglionico & pietrArsa bring on stage Vox Mundi, from which the two days also takes its name. Vox Mundi 'tells', 'sings the stories' of every culture, translates the loves, passions and dreams of an entire people into sweet melodies or devilish rhythms, it is the work written by the people themselves. The group that has established itself in the panorama of world music as one of the most innovative on the Neapolitan scene and that from beyond fifteen years brings it into the world music of our city and our region (France, Spain, Greece, Russia, Pakistan…..) offers a journey into our traditional history to deliver it to the present: from tammurriate tarantellas, dai sing aloud ai original songs, to unroll the frames of our peasant community and its hard-working but at the same time festive spirituality. However the musical background of our tradition, in the concert of pietrArsa is inserted into a dialogic relationship with i musical languages of other cultures, with a performance that starts from the Venezuelan shores of South America with the waltz by Guillermo De La Roca, continues with i tangos of Argentine inspiration, it deviates towards the coasts of the Balkans, finally arriving at most typical musical forms of our south and more particularly of our city that 'sing' about our past and our origins. 

January 29th at 20,30pm Sfogliatelle and Other Love Stories With Lalla Esposito and Massimo Masiello On the piano Antonio Ottaviano Women, Men, strange love stories... through the songs of Years' 30 of a Naples strangely not melodic and romantic but which gives voice to figures of women and they oppose to male figures who want them to be muses and sirens and men who undergo the beginning of one female emancipation we will explore in a brilliant key a Neapolitan musical repertoire with a strong ironic impact. Telling with written testimonies and singing one Napoli from the beginning of the century, strangely distant from the romantic feelings of the time.

Both shows have free entry with reservations required, super green pass and FFP2 mask.
