Like a tightrope walker of notes and words, the singer-songwriter, writer and storyteller, will recount for the occasion the many variations of “pucundre“Neapolitan, an almost untranslatable term except with a word like “melancholy”, capable of “summarizing in itself the ambiguity of being both poison and medicine” explains the artist in the introduction to the exhibition “The Demon of melancholy has several of the names in the music of absence in which it nestles: Dalkas in rebetiko, duende to flamenco, blue in African-American music. Maybe that's all that's implied pucundre», concludes the composer, rewarded five times by the Tenco license plate.

Freshly awarded, among the many distinctions, the honorary master's degree in “Languages ​​and intercultural communication in the Euro-Mediterranean area” awarded on September 26 by the University of Naples L'Orientale, Vinicio Capossela seems to have prepared himself for the date of the Neapolitan show with a sort of personal investigation into the most poignant sounds of Neapolitan song, shared between feelings of love, absence, pain and nostalgia. Nostalgia for a love, a street, a neighborhood or even “a life that has not been lived”.

Its mission is to accompany the Neapolitan public on a profound journey to the origins of music. And about himself.
