NINO D'ANGELO (Website)

Booking

By now the "Gold page boy" who represented the melomaniac Naples is long gone. It's been ages since Nino D'Angelo was hailed by the public but belittled by the critics. Today instead he's been awarded with the Nastro D'Argento, the Globo D'Oro, Ciak, The Premio Gassman and the Premio Ennio Flaiano. If the forty-five years old singer-songwriter has succeded in reaching a musical maturity, it's, above all, because he's been able to create new sounds without repudiating the tradition and the neapolitan
dialect that are his trademark. The change has been apparent since the albums "A nu' passo d'a città", "Terra Nera" and continues in his most recent "O schiavo e o rre". Nino now looks to the future: besides his career of a singer-songwriter and cinema actor, the Neapolitan artist has also ventured into theater. He has been the protagonist in Raffaele Viviani's masterpiece: "L'ultimo scugnizzo", and now he appears in "Guappo 'e cartone", another piece by the same author. "Terrenere" Tour With the project promoted by Regione Campania, Nino D'Angelo has returned home and now he intends to reintroduce the music to whom it had been taken from. Terrenere (Blacklands), is a term very close to the author's heart, because he has known them from a personal point of view. There's no one better to tell us of the raw and intense life of the ghetto. But the Terrenere don't only exist in Campania, so Nino brings his music to other areas where it's usually denied. Terrenere is also an International Project. With the patronage of the Office of the Equal Opportunities and the Office of the Foreign Business, it will be on tour throughout Europe. The music has to reach everyone... and it is possible that the same music, that helped the Gold Page Boy, could have the same effect on other inhabitants of different terrenere. For one night the outskirts will be in limelight... it is the revenge of "Terrenere".
