The Archivio Storico della Canzone Napoletana is a project proposed by Radio-RAI,
created in collaboration with the Campania Region, the Province of
Naples and the City of Naples, with the precise objective of
collecting, documenting, digitalising all the available examples of
Neapolitan musical repertoires and placing them at the disposal of the
public.
From Enrico Caruso and Fernando De Lucia to Almamegretta and 99 Posse,
on an itinerary which includes Gennaro Pasquariello and Gilda
Mignonette, Nino Taranto and Maria Paris, Sergio Bruni and Roberto
Murolo, Renato Carosone and Mario Merola, Peppino Di Capri and Pino
Daniele, Nino D'Angelo and Gigi D'Alessio... But also Elvis Presley
and Paul Mc Cartney, Dulce Pontes and Caetano Veloso, Mireille Mathieu
and Charles Aznavour, Frank Sinatra and Frank Zappa.
Unknown Tracks
Among the thousands of recordings we also found records with unreadable labels, cassettes without titles, anonymous tracks etc. In many cases we have been able to recognise the titles and the performers. Sometimes we have not been successful. It is for these performance that, once again, we ask for your cooperation. Listen to these tracks and try to remember the title and the performer. Let us know if you have any luck and you will be named in the Archive with the wording "Identified by .... Thank you".
